Northern Air Cargo's Delivery To Buffalo Airways

[Aharon 606]

Shalom and greetings all my pals,

Buffalo Joe of Buffalo Airways bought DC-6 from Northern Air Cargo so the seller had to deliver the plane from PAFA Fairbanks International Airport three miles southwest of the central business district of Fairbanks, Alaska to PANC Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport located 4 nautical miles southwest of downtown Anchorage for Buffalo Joe to pick his new purchase up.

Nice tail view of sunrise

Entering into runway 20R for take off



Airborne on climb to FL200



Making little turn adjustment



Cruising at FL200 with great sunrise view



Cruising past Alaskan landscape



Beautiful view!!



Cruising across freezing snowy Alaskan landscape



Passing famous 20,130 ft tall Mount McKinley mountain





On final runway approach to runway 07R





Seconds before touchdown



TOUCHDOWN



Exiting from runway 07R into taxiway E (instead of G due to very slippery icy runway which requires long stop as precaution)



Crossing runway 07L



Maneuvering to stop at cargo apron



With fresh coat of paint ready for Buffalo Joe to pick up!!



Arrived after long flight from Alaska at CYZF Yelloknife the home headquarter base of Buffalo Airways



Ready for new cargo service!!



Thank you for viewing.  Stay tuned for next exciting flight.

Simply great!

Flying a DC-6 in Alaska is a theme that guarantees awesome pictures; and also hard work but also unbelievable fun for the pilot. (Some weeks ago I was also there with this type of plane.) I particularly love the "On final runway approach to runway 07R" shots.

GeyerH,

 

Thanks for your kind words. It is very impressive that you saw DC-6s in real life.

Aharon,

this would have been too much of fame for me - I was there with my simulator, not in real life (you even commented my screenshot thread). It would have been too nice to see DC6s in reality... In fact, the oldest planes I saw in real life were an An-12 and a Ju-52.

 

Best regards and shalom,

Harald
