Mission 5: Lowell Field (00AK) to Beluga (PABG)
This is the fifth in a continuing exploration trip in “rugged” Alaskan glacier scenery. In this trip we’ll depart Lowell Field (00AK) travelling along the northern side of Kenai Peninsula then crossing Cooks Inlet exploring oil rigs on the way and ending this trip at Beluga (PABG). Again, as in all of these VFR “explore the terrain” type trips this one also is intended to be a low level and scenic flight excursion.

NOTE: For those of you who don't like "missions" per say, I have included the flight plan (both LNM and MSFS version) on which this bush trip is based as well as have included a sky vector map link for those who might want to remove any automated nav aids and navigate via static map, dead reckoning and marking land marks to ascertain position. (But make sure you grab your watch or E6B just in case: don’t want to get lost!)
