DAY 6

KPC>PASH>PABL>PAOT

PASH http://www.alaska.faa.gov/fai/images/NSWDLKOB/SHH-a.jpg

PABL http://www.alaska.faa.gov/fai/images/NSWDLKOB/BVK-a.jpg

PAOT http://www.alaska.faa.gov/fai/images/NSWDLKOB/OTZ-a.jpg

We continue our trip to the north by taking off at 1100 from KPC with overcast around and the temperature to 4C-39.2F.Some turbulence at 5000F make my passengers nervous.
I was wondering if the overcast going to follow us until our next destination PASH and unfortunately i was true.
Although descending to 1300F for the final approach i had a better view of the runway and a nice landing.Pleasant surpise...Another Cessna Caravan was at he small parking of PASH.
We stay there for about two hours and then take-off to PABL.Weather becomes clearer probably due to the wind and we have a nice sight seeing flight.Final approach and landing to PABL was an easy job.A very nice airport.
Final destination for this day was PAOT.Same weather conditions as our former flight and the first big airport since days. Wink

KPC>PASH

PASH>PABL

PABL>PAOT

Jon's right, it's a very lonely looking area. A nice day for flying, clear and sharp. I see you encountered another of those "water" runways.
I'm going to have to try one of those.

DAY 7.

PAOT>Z53>PATQ

Z53 http://www.alaska.faa.gov/fai/images/ARPT_DIAGRAMS/Z53.gif

PATQ http://www.alaska.faa.gov/fai/images/ARCSLP/ATK-a.jpg

We start this day's flights at 0800 from the friendly airport of PAOT to the lonely and not so friendly Z53.
It was a happiness to meet some traffic. Smile

Weather was friendly too with light winds and the ground temperature around 10C-50.
We had a nice and quite trip if we except some short moments of turbulence.
Z53 has nothing special as an airport except a short runway.The whole area was like a desert and i was thinking this area in winter months.Ice ice and some snow for change... Wink

We stay for about 1hour there and then we take-off for PATQ.
Take-off was at the limit of the runway with full fuel loaded craft.
Weather conditions hadn't change since our last flight.Flying VOR to VOR i discover an airport-PALU-surrounding by high rocks ,having a lake beside and over something which maybe they call Terminal.I was wondering what could be happens if this lake overflows...
Second VOR waypoint was the airport of PABR,the northest airport of Alaska.
We turn to south and heading for the PATQ,our final destination for this day.Very pleasant place compare to the whole area with probably high religious people.Thats the only explanation i could give for the two Churches close to runway... Laughing

I unload my passenger beside the churces(They want to pray....) and went to meet some friends on the parking. Wink

PAOT>Z53

Z53>PATQ

You depth of color and crisp scenery never ceases to amaze me, more fine screens and story line.
This is a trip that I would enjoy. Think how different it would look in the freezing winter.
