AWCEO DHC2 20251018 AER002 PABE PAGG 042 - JoaoPaz - 10-20-2025

AER002 – Supply Flight Report
Route: Bethel (PABE) → Kwigillingok (PAGG)
Aircraft: De Havilland DHC-2 Beaver
Time: 09:40 – 10:22 AKDT

Departed Bethel under perfect skies for the short hop to Kwigillingok, carrying essential supplies and medical gear for ongoing relief operations.
The morning sun sat low on the horizon — beautiful, but blinding on climb-out and almost to final approach!
Winds were calm, visibility unlimited, and the flight ran smooth from start to finish.
Touchdown after 42 minutes on a dry runway, for a change!

The first supply run of the day — and proof that even after the storm, Alaska’s blue skies can still take your breath away.

Oh man, ... and this Beaver!  Heart

Some X-Plane payware (not sure if it's the case with this one) have the option to add wear signs to paint and even change slightly the flight dynamics of the aircraft. Actually I think this is one of those cases. Will have to check.

About the PAGG scenery what you're seeing is an addon that is constantly downloading textures from the internet into X-Plane - like MSFS2020/2024 do, I believe. Then I can choose from Google Maps, Bing, etc. In this case I was testing the Apple Maps and really liked the result!
