Icy Bay 19AK → Merle K. (Mudhole) Smith PACV

Always following the Pacific coast, I continue heading north. The region is already quite rugged and sparsely populated. The airports here have to struggle with their own unique problems:

“Erratic winds. Moose may be on or near rwy. Large flocks of migratory birds in vicinity of airport during season.”

Happy Landing!

Continuing the glacier watching with a flight over the Malaspina Glacier: this ice mass covers an area of about 2,500 to 4,000 km² (depending on how you measure). This is three to four times the size of Berlin, Germany 😲

Tanis Mesa AK69 → Yakutat PAYA

Today (and tomorrow) it's all about watching glaciers! The exciting thing is that we're now so far north that the glaciers go all the way down to the sea.

The Cirrus SR22 has a large windshield which provides a nice field of view – perfect for today's tour.

What do you do if the start and destination airports are just 5 nautical miles apart?

Of course, you take a little detour over Mount Rainier and watch the sunrise from up there!

But first, you’ve got to get up there …
