Shalom and greetings all my pals,
Presenting historic Wein Air DC-3 flight from CHP Circle Hot Springs Airport located in Circle Hot Springs in the Yukon-Koyukuk area of Alaska to PAFA Fairbanks International Airport located three miles southwest of the central business district of Fairbanks
Circle Hot Springs was very famous for its hot spring resort with a 4-story lodge that gained statewide and international attention where rich people in Alaska usually went to that hotel for vacation
That is why Wein Air had regular service to CHP Circle Hot Springs airport as seen on this official airline timetable below that you can find my recreating of the historic flight
Ready to load up returning vacationers and their luggages
Closing the passenger door
Check out the reflection of clouds on the shiny wing
Starting engines!!
Spooling up engines because of sub zero temperature
Starting to taxi to runway 27
Still taxiing
Increasing throttle power to start take off run which results into snow blowing behind the engines
Airbone on climb to 10,000 ft while retracting landing gear
Still climbing still at runway or 270 degree heading because of too high mountains on left side
You can see how high the mountains are which means I cannot make left turn to head to west to start BNGAL HOVMO FA flight route
From this cockpit view, you can see that the runway heading is clear but the mountains on left side are still too high
Looks like the plane is at safe distance above mountains which signals time to make left turn toward destination
Making left turn to west
Still on left turn
Now on correct direction cruising at 10,000 ft
Wing view of cruising 10,000 ft above snowy landscape
Gorgeous wing view of sun
TO BE CONTINUED BELOW..........................
