Flying Wild Alaska 2.1

Featured Replies

Finally I found some time again to fly in Alaska (continuation of this flight).

 

As my quite reliable Caravan had some technical issues, but I need to fly to earn money :wink:, I decided to take the Beaver.

Due to sloppy flight preparation, I first tried to land on a smaller airfield, until I realized that I'm wrong there. But finally I found PAGK.
