McKinley 3 Glacier Tour

5 posts in this topic

Posted

Well, it was another one of those terrible winter days just made for ski flying and I got another 4.7 hours on the Avid+. I decided to press my norther boundary and go visit some McKinley glaciers. There are 3 different glaciers in these pics although they look similar and all start at McKinley. The glaciers are the Ruth Glacier, Tokositna Glacier and Kahiltna Glacier. Man, I am loving the long legs of this plane; I burned about 15 gals. with 9 take offs and landings

Very nice pics Randy! I have my fingers crossed for the same weather conditions the 16-21st. I know, its a tall order but maybe, juuuuust maybe. A few more days like this one and your hrs will be flown off and you wont have boundaries anymore!
