Alaskan Winds Flight Number AER001

[Aharon Dayan]

Shalom and greetings all my pals,

Presenting Alaskan Winds flight number AER001 from Kipnuk (PAKI) to Bethel (PABE) to Anchorage (PANC)  evacuating injured residents from Kipnuk to fly them to receive medical treatment in hospital in Anchorage via Bethel

Fully boarded abroad ambulance King Air 350 at PAKI Kipnuk and ready for flight!!  Because this tiny airport has too short 2,120 ft runway and King Air 350 requires 3,300 ft runway for take off with normal load, I have loaded for sake of very very short runway take off the plane with only 15 percent of fuel load which should be enough for 80 nautical mile hop to PABE where I can get more refuel with appropriate fuel load sufficient for flight from PABE to PANC. The trick worked well as the plane had no problem taking off from 2,120 ft runway with some enough runway distance to spare thanks to 15 percent fuel load to offset the full passenger load with heavy monitoring medical machines.



Cruising at 5,000 ft



Arrived at PABE for quick refueling



Taxiing to runway 01L with background view of army helicopters which are very busy working hard doing the evacuations from small airports in the affected areas to KABE where waiting planes will take survivors to PANC or PAFA



Still taxiing with background view of GA planes being busy with same mission as the army helicopters



DC-3s had arrived in background from PANC and PAFA bringing emergency supplies such as food, water, and clothes



Cruising at FL210




Ground view of mountains signal time for descent on way to PANC runway 07R



Arrived at PANC to meet waiting ambulances while the trains rumbled past on the tracks in back



Thank you for viewing.
