Petersburg James A. Johnson PAPG → Juneau International PAJN

Did you know Juneau is Alaska’s capital? I totally didn’t: had my money on Anchorage 😳 Never too old to learn something new!

The RNAV approach here is quite interesting. It gets you close to the airport, but the final leg has to be flown visually, after a 15° right turn to line up with the runway.

Chasing Rainbows.

Northwest Regional Airport Terrace-Kitimat CYXT → Stewart Aerodrome CZST

What a dramatic light today! At least for the first half of the flight. After that, it got hazier and darker with much less contrasts.

Stewart Aerodrome is approached visually and sits in a valley, so there’s not much room for the turn after the downwind. The Vision Jet probably isn’t one of the usual aircrafts seen here ;-)

Port Hardy CYZT → Bella Bella (Campbell Island) CBBC

A flight at dusk, which just barely ended in time in Bella Bella (I like this name!).

The runway wasn’t lit, and in the worst case, I would have had to turn back to Port Hardy, but everything worked out fine.

Del Norte County KCEC → Rogue Valley International-Medford Airport KMFR

This leg again? Yep, another short test flight, in the Cirrus Vision Jet again. But the real focus? Testing the Map Enhancement Plugin for X-Plane. The scenery looks so much better with it!

Next stop? Not sure yet. But Portland, OR is just 200 nautical miles away! Rumor has it there are some amazing breweries there…

Rogue Valley International-Medford Airport KMFR → Del Norte County KCEC

Back in California for a short test flight in the Vision Jet. The next flight will take me further to the north, promise!
