Flying to a remote Alaska village -- Angle of Attack Show EP 3

BECOME A PILOT WITH ANGLE OF ATTACK

.
. Flying in Alaska - today's mission, Port Alsworth promises to have a beautiful waterfall, and maybe even some backcountry burgers. This town, located on Lake Clark (REALLY blue water, like the Bahamas, but super cold) is a secluded and remote Alaskan Bush town with a lot of great character.

It's August and my favorite part of Summer. Everything has bloomed fully, the flowers and Fireweed are out, and it's nice and warm most the time. The flying weather is also generally great, and the light is still staying up pretty late.

Earlier in the year my friends Keaton and Morgan (newlyweds) were helpful in getting my brother, nephews and I tickets on the Alaskan Railroad. They work in the dining car, and were just super cool about it all. So I wanted to return the favor by doing something awesome with them.

Port Alsworth would be our mission for the day. It's quite a challenge to get there, as we can't just head out straight over water. We have to do the long way around, then through Lake Clark Pass. The Pass itself is challenging with towering mountains, and unpredictable weather. However, the views didn't disappoint.

Along the way I'd have to use ForeFlight and VFR reporting points to tell others where I was at. The canyon can get pretty busy with traffic going back and forth between Anchorage and Port Alsworth.

Spoiler alert!!!: Our journey was a blast and went by without incident. We didn't get the burgers we sought, but we did march up to the Tanalian Falls and were blown away by the view. Just nothing like it.

Lake Clark pass is on my bucket list! I bought my first airplane this past summer and have been stretching my wings so to speak with each flight. I feel like I need more mountain flying experience or perhaps am waiting for the perfect day - good vis and light winds before I try it. All the smoke from the wildfires this past summer (2019) kept me from flying as much as I had wanted to. Beautiful scenery and video! Thank you for putting it together!

I absolutely love this video. As a resident of AK, i have always wanted to visit the lake clark area. Thank you for the awesome video!

I loved watching this Chris! I love these longer shows - you live in such a unique state and do a great job "taking us along"

J'adore and practice my english....an all in one pack. Thanks a lot and greetings from Quebec.

Enjoyed the video. Nice to hear from someone who flies not because they have the money to spend, but rather because it is something they have to be involved with. Some people must fly. I get it.

Those us who fly struggle to explain why we fly to those who don't. For me it's the science, adventure, and mastery of a complex skill set. But mostly it's about the beauty.

Your film expresses all of those feeling, and is the best explanation of what drives flyers that I have seen. Thank you for sharing your talents, loves and reflections with us.

What an incredible video this is! Aviation film doesn't get much better than this, especially for this particular genre. Jaw-dropping visuals and poignant testimony of one's aviation experience. This is inspirational not just about flying, but about LIFE. Sincere respect to you for achieving this level of living and aviation experience!

Port Alsworth is one of my favorite villages. It is the cleanest village in Alaska.
Lake Clark Pass is beautiful. I had a couple of “moments” flying through there. It was nice seeing you use good communication flying in the pass.
