I picked up a job today from Wrangell to Craig, Alaska, for 872 pounds of household goods.
The quickest and fastest way to complete it was to ship it in the Metroliner but the latter destination, Craig has no runway, just a seaplane base. So I had my trusty AI pilot (Denise Milani) fly my amphibious Skywagon and meet me in Klawock while I repoed the Metro from Petersburg to Wrangell (see map below--empty legs in green, cargo legs in red);
I flew the cargo to Klawock where I met Denise at the ramp.
One of my other planes, the Beech 1900 was there from a previous job.
Using the transfer function, I offloaded the cargo onto the Skywagon and departed for the short hop to Craig (I gave Denise another job in the 1900).
This is the waterfront at Klawock;
Five minutes by air and the village of Craig can be seen in the distance;
Taxiing in;
And shut down with the courier's truck there to accept my cargo:
