AW838 DHC2 20251119 AER003 0021 - Gerard Cuomo - 11-19-2025
Didn't get a chance to grab my camera before departing. We had a weather window open up around 1400 local, and we took advantage of it. Got the survey team and their gear loaded up after topping off the fuel. Got up just after 2pm and proceeded direct to PAKI. We stayed around 1,000ft with a very stiff wind out of the south. Had to hold about a 10-degree left of course correction the whole way. Thankfully it was a short hop. Touched down a little harder than I would like to at PAKI, but had to make sure we landed almost full-stall due to the unpredictable winds today. Hoping to get these guys where they need to go next and get back to Bethel soon.
