FBF001 - Executives - Part 1, 2, 3 - PANC-AK44-0AK6-PANC

[JoaoPaz]

So Frank Seigler had me departing PANC this morning for the first leg of this three-part mission - the positioning flight to pick up three execd at Talkeetna Village Strip.

As soon as I departed from Anchorage weather was cooperating nicely, good visibility heading north. The direct route took me right over some beautiful Alaskan terrain - always love this stretch, following the Susitna. Like hinting at the next Iditarod there it was, the Willow Lake as I was flying by Willow PAUO - from where many races take their official start. (...in few months!)

About halfway there I could see Talkeetna in the distance, that little strip nestled in the valley. Radio was quiet, no other traffic around, so I set up for a straight-in approach. 
Wind was right down the runway, couldn't have asked for better conditions.
Touched down smooth and spotted the three guys in suits right away! 

Frank's coordination was spot on, they were expecting me at exactly the right time.
Quick turnaround, got them loaded up with their bags. They seem like regulars on this route to Victory, very businesslike but friendly enough. One mentioned something about quarterly reviews - sounds riveting! 

Ready for leg two - should be a quick hop over to Victory Strip!

(actually I took this flight twice as I forgot to bring my camera on the first one!   )
