The Great Yukon Adventure - Part 4


After taking a short break in Eagle, Alaska we are eager for the next flight. This will lead us to Fort Yukon which is located at the confluence of the Yukon and Porcupine Rivers. A small city with a population of just over 400.

Nice one again, Markus!
Wonderful area to fly.
Your screenshots are always a blast - but those from the VC look particularly stunning, very realistic <3

Interesting piece of trivia, I have actually flown with Carlin Air. I may have to dig up and post a photo or two.
