Thks for info, Joe. Will reload my screenshots tomorrow when FS Snaps is back and edit my last post.

Out of holiday mode, back to flying... Before summer I had closed my two AH companies, and I am now restarting from scratch with Klawock Air Services, a one man business based in PAKW, Alaska. In the Tongass fjords I start with an all around Cessna 185 Amphib. First delivery is over in Canada at CAB6 on the Skitine River, a 1053m dirt/gravel strip. My plane is waiting on the PAKW parking, weather is so-so with a 10 miles visibility and broken clouds around 2700 - 3000 ft. Light wind from the south. Take off early afternoon, happy to fly again in

Happy Birthday Rosario !

Happy Birthday, Brian ! Welcome to the 60s club...

Happy Birthday Dolf !

Stage 4 From Khutze River Lodge to Kowesas River Lodge Part 3 Soft touchdown on the calm waters of the Chief Mathews Bay ... As I taxi to my destination, I float by a group of killer whales fishing with many sea birds above them ... Going up the river I float past the end of the small dirt strip. And here I am at the Kowesas River Lodge pontoon, with a warm welcome for the weekend ! A real picture of the place :

Yes I always fly real time and real weather. If the weather is too bad for flying, I go boating... Or like in my Australia tour when I cannot fly real time, I load the historical weather at the time of the flight.

Stage 4 From Khutze River Lodge to Kowesas River Lodge Part 2 From the main fjord we turn right to fly along the Gardner Canal, one of the most beautiful places around... Not always going straight... Until I find the entry to Chief Mathews Bay at the end of which hides the Kowesas River Lodge Again careful with the boats... .../...
