Here are some images from my flights around Alaska. I've never actually been there, but after watching "Flying Wild Alaska" I figured it would be the most interesting place to run AH out of.

For those who are curious, I'm on XP with REX 2.0 Overdrive, FSX weather engine, and Ultimate Alaska X for the terrain and scenery. The only alterations to screenshots are occasional use of auto contrast. Enjoy.

Flying from Aniak to Ruby.


Sunset.


Suddenly got really cloudy started to rain lightly. I think that's the Yukon River.


About to land in Ruby.

Excellent shots you have there. I especially like the first shot with the reflections from the window.

Flying from Bethel to Unalakleet, the clouds were looking very good.


I see an evil teddy bear.


A wall of clouds ahead.

Thanks and yeah it is. I've seen some odd things though at some of the small airstrips. Like water running under the runway. Some edges of water have run into what's suppose to be ground and doesn't look very realistic when it slopes up.

Yeah I've noticed those things too. Also I hate when the runways are in a ditch with trees on both ends so that it is extremely hard to land on them without diving haha

I think this was along the river south of Aniak.


A mountain in the Aleutian Islands.


I tried using the DC-2 Beaver for a bit, but wasn't getting jobs to water runways.


However there was a job to an airport that was close enough to the water to count.


In the
mountains between Anchorage and Valdez.






Passing Russian Mission Airport en route to Unalakleet.
