Getting ready for fight to Homer that is considered and known as the Halibut Fishing Capital of the World.
Starting engines!!
Right engines started and revved up
Starting left engines
Gauges indicating that engines are ready for taxi!
Starting to taxi to short of runway 34
Entering into taxiway on way to runway 34
Still taxiing on taxiway towards the runway
Nice cockpit view of mountains of Chugach State Park
Holding short of runway 34 to check for any GA plane
Entering into runway 34 with background view of Buffalo Soapstone mountain range
Cockpit view of entering into runway 34
Ready for take off!!
Roaring down the runway
Airborne on climb to fl200 making sharp left turn to avoid high mountains ahead
You can see how high the mountains are that the plane managed to avoid after successful sharp left turn after take off
Still climbing to fl200
Now cruising southbound at fl200
Passing PAED Elmendorf Air Force Base located north of Anchorage

Cruising through clouds across waters of Cook Inlet
Descending through clouds
At 5,000 ft flying through clouds to get ready for runway approach to runway 03
On final runway approach
30 seconds before runway passing view of waters of Beluga Slough where you can see lake street road in front of the plane nose
5 seconds before touchdown
TOUCHDOWN
Front landing gear gliding down in most graceful manner
Front wheels making runway contact
