First trip in Alaska was just stunning. I could almost not believe how nice the scenerey is modelled in this area, almost like the team of FSX went to Alaska for some design discussions and decided to specially take care about this region. Maybe it is also because for the past 20'000 miles I haven't seen any big mountains ;-). So the todays leg led from PAYA to Juneau International - PAJN.
By the way: did you know the following about Juneau?
- Juneau is only 45 miles from end to end, but has over 130 miles of hiking trails.
- Juneau’s backyard is a 1,500 mile glacial ice field bordering Canada.
- Juneau has over 280 species of birds, all five species of salmon, brown and black bears, and three species of whales.
- The longest day here is June 21: the sun rises at 3:51 am and sets at 10:07 pm. The shortest day is December 21: the sun rises at 8:44 am and sets at 3:07 pm.
Interesting, isn't it - worthwile a trip I would say!
Happy Landings,
PT
