May 24, 20206 yr Great trip between these two (remote) Alaskan towns, and lovely scenery, too, Bernd! (Yakutat, has (virtually) almost become my summer-home, as you already know...🙂...) I understand...it's the Transall C-160D, 5102, of the German Air Force...(had not seen that, in a while)...!! Thanks for posting!
May 24, 20206 yr Wonderful scenery unfolding below this flight. Each scene more eye-popping than the one before. John
May 24, 20206 yr Lovely set! Scenery looks great but I am actually more interested in the aircraft you are flying. A quick google and I know now it is a Transall C-160D....also came up with a good video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggMUlQvc2H0 I see there are two sets of throttles and gear levers....what are the levers right in the middle?

May 26, 20206 yr Flown between Cordova and Yakutat several times in RL - always along the beaches. That Malaspina glacier is humungous. What's that junior Herc you're flying?

I flew with it many times, it has been used by many European countries and some still use it today. During the last few years, it was gradually replaced by the larger and more modern Airbus A 400 Any attempt to stretch fuel is guaranteed to increase headwinds My specs: AMD Radeon RX6700XT, AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, 32GB RAM, 34" monitor, screen resolution: 2560x1080
