Canadian MD-11F Cargo Hauling

[Aharon Dayan 87]

Shalom and greetings all my pals,

Here is darn nice Alaskan cargo hauling by MD-11 from PACD Cold Bay Airport located in Cold Bay in the Aleutians East Borough of Alaska to PANC Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport located 4 nautical miles southwest of downtown Anchorage.

Finished loading with cargo full of heavy broken machines that need to be taken to Anchorage for repairs

Starting backtracking on beginning of runway 32

Holding position on runway 32 with background view of mountain range of MT Frosty Peak

Airborne on climb to FL350

Making right turn toward BINAL to start J115 route

Nice wing view of Kinzarof Lagoon further in background

Still climbing to FL350 over Bristol Bay

Intercepting BINAL to start cruising along J115 in middle of climb to FL350

Alaskan sunsets are always super gorgeous
