A long leg, to say the least
Ugolny(UHMA) - Yelizovo (UHPP)
Well that was a long run, just over 900nm to be exact. I wondered if I was going to make it at first but it wasn't really a problem. What was a problem was the fact that if I hadn't made it, I would not have had anywhere else to stop before that. I was actually dreading that leg from the start of my trip. But I made it afterall.

Beautiful, just beautiful.
Thought this was a problem with FS at first but I noticed it was all around me.
See what I mean.
And again.

The Continuation... Again
It's been a long time since I last posted a leg but I figured I'd better keep this going. Eventually, by flight sim 15, I might finish this Around the World tour. I continued my journey from where I left off. My Itinerary Gambell to Ugolny(UHMA). And now across to another continent.

2 Parts in one
Haven't had time to post much about my last two flights but I got to it today and I'll do them together. First I flew to Golovin Alaska from Anchorage. Then on from Golovin I flew to Gambell. It's part of Alaska but on an island much more south the most of Alaska. Here are some shots...

Back to the US I go
I'm heading back to the US but this time Alaska. My stop will be in Anchorage. I flew from Whitehorse to Anchorage and next up I will be flying a bit farther. Not much time to chat, gotta get flying for the next leg.
Here's some shots of the flight.

High Level to Whitehorse
Ok, no snazzy catch phrase titles this time. I'm on my way out of Whitehorse in a minute and I forgot to post how the trip went to get here. Things were smooth but cloudy today. Beautiful view out of High Level but then it got progressively cloudier. It wasn't a pretty sight getting into Whitehorse but what can you do.
Here's some pics from the trip.
Nice sunshine out of High level.
On the road again.

New trip, new day
Well it's going to be a short post cause I want to get going. I've decided to skip Yellowknife and go directly to Whitehorse and then over to Alaska. It's a long trip so I'd better get going. Here's some pics from Chetwynd to High Level
