Stillwater Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 A lovely route, and a well suited plane, Bernd. Good to see you slowed her down well for a successful landing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VH-KDK Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 The C-46 is the right choice for your flight. A great plane and a wonderful set of views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olderndirt Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Great shots of a venerable aircraft - it's relationship with the DC3 is similar to that of the Spitfire and Hurricane. They do great things with a C46. An outfit in Fairbanks, Everts Air, goes into Ophir AK - 1800 ft gravel strip with a load of fuel for the miners at least once a year.
