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.




The Beaver ready to go at Eagle, AK. Beautiful weather for now.



Climbing to 5,000 feet.



Yukon. Weather still looking good. However expecting deteriorating conditions further north.



Cruising.



Approaching Coal Creek. There is also a small landing strip which can be spotted above the left wing.



This landscape never fails to amaze me.



Further north. Approaching Circle City on the left bank of the Yukon River.



Circle City and airport.



As we get closer to Fort Yukon, rain showers are visible ahead of us.



Dark skies ahead.



Descending towards PFYU.



With the rain pouring down we are crossing mid-field and position ourselves for a left-hand pattern for runway 04.



Landing roll. Visibility was enough to keep the airport in sight.



Taxiing in. Note the reflections of those trees in the river.



And here we are! Fourth leg completed.
