olderndirt Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Today we're doing a mucky weather trip between two Alaskan ports discovered and named by Spanish explorer Salvador Fidalgo. Leaving the Cordova (Mile 13) airport enroute to Valdez with a forecast of chancy weather. Original name - Puerto Cordova. Right here the nitty's getting a bit gritty. Land ho! Tatitlek - Population 88. The runway's 3700' so it's a good one to know about. Buenas Dias, Valdez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillwater Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I did not know the background of these names, thanks for the history lesson. Plus, I recommend the direct route between these airports with real weather (means: with fog). These mountains make for a challenge... and the freezing engines increase it...
