The Great Yukon Adventure - Part 3


So after a wonderful day and evening in Dawson City it is time to go flying again. We'll be heading towards Eagle today, crossing the border to Alaska on our way. I made a few screenshots while experimenting with the drone camera function of FS2024 which allows really nice close-up pictures.



Performing the last pre-flight checks. Note the rope hanging down from under the wing. There are four of them, two on each wing, and they are actually animated.



Engine warmed up, ready for departure!



Confluence of Yukon and Klondike River. Overflying Dawson City. Note the ropes dangling in the wind.



Goodbye Dawson City!



Close-up shot to show you all the amazing details on the Beaver. Weathered look, rivets, reflections etc. The longer you look at it, the more details you will notice. Stunning!



Yukon. Wilderness.



Forty Mile River joining the Yukon.



Heading towards Eagle.



Descending to the traffic pattern altitude. The boundary between Canada and Alaska is right in front of us.



Short final runway 25 at PAEG.



Landing roll. Runway is made of concrete plates.



Parking brake set! Thank you, Lady!



And engine is shut down.

This was a rather short and unspectacular flight. Will decide later on if we stay at Eagle or continue our journey along the mighty Yukon.
