Alaskan Cargo Operations

The next day brought better weather for our run down to Ketchikan in the Kodiak.


And with the sun starting to come up over the mountains we had a beautiful departure out of PAJN.



From there, we were cloud surfing!


The approach is kind of neat, runway is elevated from the rest of the airport.

We pulled into the cargo ramp and waited to be unloaded. Looks like it’s been “unseasonably warm” in these parts…

We were delayed getting unloaded due to mechanical issues so we had sometime to tour around.

And hopped a fairy across.


Appears to be a popular tourist stop.

And the birds were looking for a free meal with the fishing boat trolling by.

We headed back over to the airport just in time to see the last of the boxes get unloaded.

And before long we were taxing up the ramp to the runway.

And with the dip of a wing, we were gone.


And back into Juneau for the last time.
