Today I reach American continent in my tour around Pacific in DC-3. PADU 
PAKN
Visibility in Unalaska was not good, but still above minimums. Most of the flight was IFR, except the end. Luckily there is more coverage by VORs and NDBs in this area than on my previous legs. Departure from PADU was simple, just climb north from NDB. Soon I got above the clouds. Unfortunately in the middle of the flight I got into the clouds at cruise altitude, so I was flying just be needle. Then I got out of clouds and there was only few clouds at the destination, so I canceled IFR and continued visually.
At PAKN I did super smooth landing, thanks to having sunset behind me and I could use my own shadow to measure distance from runway.
And there was also some traffic at the destination. And ATC did wrong lining up. There was airliner behind me on final. But of course in the end it had to go-around because my approach was much slower.
This is the volcano that was mentioned in NOTAMs for eruption. Luckily today NOTAM area was much smaller (only around the mountain), unlike last week, when there was large part of airspace closed.
