Anchorage Bound!

[Butter_Boi]

Hello!

Alaska is one of my favorite regions in the world, both in IF and real life. So I thought to myself, maybe I should go fly there. But, the problem, there’s hardly anybody in Alaska on IF. Sad fact. Well, I found a series of events hosted by @Captain_Merka, and they are all in Alaska, such a great idea! I participated in the first event at Nome (PAOM). I took a short 1 and a half hour flight to Anchorage (PANC), and it went well, other than 90 knot winds and turbulence of course. I’ve been blabbering for a long time today, so enjoy the photos!

Lining up on runway 21, getting ready for my early morning departure to Anchorage. It’s quite dark, as fall is approaching the small town of Nome, AK.

After a short wait, and a noticeably lighter sky, I started my takeoff roll. “V1, Ròtatè, V2.” @ranchracer and his 738 watches me climb out of Nome, I’m Anchorage bound!

I know what you’re thinking, “Finally no edits, thanks @Butter_Boi!” Well, your welcome. And my thank you to you, thank you everyone for helping me become a regular, I couldn’t have done it without a great community to support me along the way. I hope you enjoy these photos, and feedback is welcome. Have a great day!

[ALREADY HUGE!] Alaskan Flyin' - Anchorage Flyout @ PANC 262100ZOCT19

[Alaskan%20Flyin%20Cover] The Anchorage Flyout! Co-Hosted by @Butter_Boi Discord: https://discord.gg/uk87bJV You guys voted for it… So here it is! Come and join me in Anchorage, AK. At population: 294,356, it is the largest city in the state of Alaska (Wikipedia). Anchorage is a cargo hub with quite an interesting story. At the halfway point between the US and Asia, and almost directly being on the flight path have it a lot of traffic before the days of ETOPS. Now with ETOPS, and longer r…

Finally a Non-Rain edit. They were popular once, but now they’re overused in my opinion.

Great photos nonetheless

[anon38496261]

Wow! Those are so good! Got any pics from ANC?

[anon79257371]

Nice photos!

[anon38496261]

It’s always good when people post about Alaska. It doesn’t get the attention it deserves.

[Butter_Boi]

Thank you everyone, I leave for one minute, and 3 people show up!

Alaska is beautiful and underrated in my opinion (and @anon38496261). And yes I have photos from ANC, I’ll PM you because they’re not worthy of posting.

[Captain_Merka]

Thanks @Butter_Boi. Glad you enjoyed my event. I’m excited to have you as a co-host in the future!

Shouldn’t it be V1, Ròtatè, V2?

[haitianpilot44]

yea he probably forgot :)

[Butter_Boi]

Yes it should, my bad. And thank you everyone!

[ranchracer]

I’m not great at the photo thing but here’s one coming in over the numbers at Anchorage. Great day of flying. PAOM to PANC in @Captain_Merka ‘s flyout in the 738 followed by PANC to KSFO in the same plane and finally KSFO home to KAUN (Auburn north of Sacramento) in the TBM.
