More Excursion Inlet

Saturday, June 13, 2009 0 comments

The approach to Excursion Inlet is a little unusual. They have installed lights and a siren that the pilot can activate from the air to warn the workers at the cannery to stay clear. It is also to notify the bears that a plane is coming. Then a low fly over at about 500 feet to ensure the runway is clear. The wind typically is blowing from the southeast, in this picture the view is to the north west, so the landing is makde coming toward the camera.After flying over head and turning around out over the water, this is the view back to the southeast on "final".
