Stillwater Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Misty weather at Skagway, perfect for filing an application as assistant pilot with the Mule Team. Low and slow we follow another cruiseship (maybe John B is on board?)... ... and pass Haines in a classical Alaskan sunrise. Eldred Rock. A navigation aid, even with helicopter platform. Flying low enough we can show the beautiful coast to our passengers on the left... ... before we carefully approach Barlow cove... ... and turn towards the flashlights of the capital. Juneau, with its tricky offset between approach indicators and runway. But those who want to fly for the Mule Team know all these procedures... ... and bring their trusty plane home safely. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VH-KDK Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 An excellent set Gerold. The biggest offset when The Mule Team flies into Juneau is when Hilda walks around the cabin and the massive changes in the CofG. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boetie Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 What a wonderful set in a beautiful part of the world. My wife used to work on the cruise ships around Alaska. She reckons she’ll take me on one one day as it was her favourite region. That approach into Juneau is a beauty. Thanks for sharing mate. Cheers Graeme 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I just hope for luck with the HR department of the Mule Team... 8 hours ago, VH-KDK said: An excellent set Gerold.

I forgot, the trimming challenge with Hilda is something you cannot train in a simulator ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
