Hi,
The MAGVAR is most noticeable when going east or west but not as pronounced
in the earlier versions, I mean you can keep track without getting lost.
The most fun is flying in the mountains to those 1500 to 2500 foot runways
that you can't make a straight in approach.  I am flying in the winter,
fighting snow ice and rain.  Using wheels floats and ski's.  We are having a
ball!
As far as the hours -- I diddn't keep track by leg but rather by day or
plane.  I can give you a total by plane up to today.

Beaver --8:15
Otter--19:02
Twin Otter--11:02
DC-3--16:12
Martin 404--17:12
Total--71:43

Next exploration is to pick out those sites that have good water facilities
using the time period as spring or summer..  We just landed where we saw
water near a landing site without ice.
 We only used the Martin on the large fields with the ILS's  and the DC-3
and Twin Otter on the other long flights.   Myself I prefer the Otter.
Also going to start out in Fairbanks  with the Otter and follow the road
north as far as I can go.  Landing at fields nearby to refuel.   It will be
a long flight as it twists and turns through the mountains with a lot af
back tracking.
God bless,
Bill Odell bgas004

Bill, I have started the Yukon River.  Is it a flight that I can report on?
If so, here is my first report. Just got started but I really enjoy just
following the river. I think Odell has a great idea of following a river.  I
have done that before but never this great.

Bill, I got started and just could not quit today, since it is raining and
56 degrees outside that helped.  I sent Odell a email with a copy to you.
Thanks for sending me the Flight plans.  I sure enjoyed them.  Since I am a
Texan, I am back to flying Texas again.

Take Care,  Bill A

 

Does anybody read these things?  Yea, I’m talking to you!  If you want the reports to continue in this format send me an email
