AW836 Ketchikan to Pasi - Sleddog - 09-10-2025
Hi all,
Opened the rusty hangar doors today and dusted off the DC-3, pushed her outside on the tarmac tried to start the engines. It was a beautiful day at Ketchikan airport (lovely scenery from Northern Sky Studio). Toon off, flew over the town and strait and headed for Sitka at a cruise altitude of 7500 feet. Started my descent and dived into some horrible weather in the Sitka bay. Some sleepy head forgot to turn on the airport lights and visibility was lousy. Did a flyover at Sitka airport (also from Northern Sky Studio) and the lights were turned on. Made a safe landing in the typical "summer" weather conditions. Great to be back though!

...and great to have you back as well, David
There were no screenshots but I could "see" the whole picture in my head
Keep'em coming, Sleddog!
