Guys, how I missed this...
As always my first flight after along period away from the cockpit must start at home - at Nome for me!

Today's flight carried more than just cargo — it carried a small piece of connection for the people of New Shishmaref.

With the sea ice of the Chukchi Sea shifting earlier each year, supply routes have become unpredictable, and every trip matters! Here the effects of global warming have been devastating with many houses being relocated to safer grounds.

From Nome’s windswept runway to the runway at New Shishmaref, the mission was simple: bring in the goods, the mail..
..and a reminder that even in the far reaches of Alaska, no community is ever truly isolated.

As for navigation I kept it classic — tracking the PASH NDB all the way in. Old school.


I will never grow tired of this remote landscapes!
