Shalom and greetings all my pals,

 

Presenting era 1970 typical commuter flight between PANC Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport located 4 nautical miles southwest of downtown Anchorage, Alaska and PAKN King Salmon Airport located just southeast of King Salmon in the Bristol Bay Borough of Alaska.

 

Check out beautiful tail at the PANC gate

Starting engines in sub zero freezing weather is very tough as engines are started spewing some smoke

Had a thought...then there was the smell of something burning, and sparks, and then a big fire, and then the lights went out! I guess I better not do that again!

Sorry for the world, no they're not! I am a bit of a weather buff & I've noticed several days it was warmer in parts of Alaska this fall and winter than it was her in Greater Appalachia. GLOBAL WARMING IS REAL!

Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow.

GLOBAL WARMING IS REAL!

I won't discuss stuff like that, other than to say, the Earth's climate changes. It get's warmer, it get's colder. There have been times when the poles were tropical 1/2 the year, and times when the entire world was covered in glaciation, right down to the equator. So, maybe it is, maybe it isn't, but the one sure thing to count on is that it will change.

And lets face it, a couple hundred years, where the Earth's climate is concerned, isn't enough observation for accurate statistical analasys. A few thousand, maybe. Not the couple hundred we have so far. At least in the white-man's, Eurocentric history.

Just my two cents.

Peer01, Phantomtweak, Rupert, NMLW, Fsimmer98, Lifejogger, KCD, and Linersimpilot,

 

Thanks for your kind words

 

Nice screenshots! Which 727 model?

 

Fsimmer, it is good old fashioned 12 year old Vistaliners model that is FREEWARE.

 

Rupert, the flight was set in early 1970 meaning people during that period did not know what global warming was but they sure knew what ozone problem was hence banning aerosol sprays :)

 

Regards,

 

Aharon
