Finding some shelter in Yakutat

[Cpt_Piett 4,689]

As part of my world tour I arrived today in PAYA Yakutat in my trusted N5AM. I was greeted by a lovely little airfield, designed with passion by Northern Lights. A bit weary from a 2 hr IFR flight with not much to see above the thick cloud layer, I was a bit amused by the "food shelter booze" sign at "The Yakutat Lodge". A highly recommended scenery! Tomorrow I'll check out Mt St Elias, the second-highest mountain in both Canada and the US. With it's altitude of 18,008 ft, it was hovering above the cloud layer as I came in for the approach. But now it's time for some food 'n booze!

Got that one wrong, it’s Northern Sky.

Thanks! I noticed after posting that the highlights look blown out. Not sure if it looks like that in the sim. I’ve tweaked the HDR settings on my OLED panel, but that won’t be reflected in the screenshots.
