Flight Log - Day 221 to 320
Day 223 - Bush land
Welcome to the Alaskan Peninsula. We're overnighting in King Cove and hoping for good weather for tomorrow. Our flight today was pretty good. Mostly cloudy, but we made it without too much of a problem. We're just getting started here in Alaska. Will we decide to ever leave?
Day 222 - ghost town vibes
We made it to Fort Glenn today. Weather stayed reasonable enough that we could stay visual most of the way. The number of airstrips availalble from now on should satisfy the hungry pilots on my back. We'll be in good shape to find food and fuel for a while. I expect the boys are cold, so we're hoping for some in house meals and warm fires soon.
Day 221 - let this be over
Other than a little ice weather was still in good shape as we made our way to Atka. The hardest part of the crossing is behind us and little glimmers of civilization keep popping up. We'll be nearing the end of the crossing soon and on our way to exploring the backcountry of Alaska. Just in time too as winter is ending. Next stop is Cape Field at Fort Glenn. An old abandoned airbase.
Equipment
Each stage of a real world flight needs to be accounted for. From survival gear to tents and food. These items will be a part of the final takeoff weight of each aircraft.
