Hi Pilots, Wow, what an eventful flight that was!. First out.. I lost an MT7 in Lake Hood (and thats before we even started!). I took a replacement MT7 out to the Cabin which was awesome...... thats one slippery landing there! Next we went on to climb around the spectacular peaks and Denali. On the way back about 20nm from PATK I lost engine #1, tried to restart but to no avail... then engine #2 died but I managed to restart. Had to restart engine #2 twice more before lining up on PAKT only to find I had no Flaps !! .... jeez . Managed to land but it was scary. So .... I borrowed a Piper Seneca V and flew IFR to PANC as it was getting dark. From there hopped in a waiting Bell 206 for a short run to Lake Hood to regroup. Not strictly fleet A/C but, when something like this happens you gotta improvise Anyways...... here are a few screenies....... Thanks Joao and all that flew. Looking forward to doing it all again on Sunday (without the system failures).
