Shalom and greetings all my pals,

Here is super gorgeous and beautiful Pacific Western Boeing 737-200 from PABA Barter Island LRRS Airport also known as Barter Island Airport or Kaktovik Airport located near the city of Kaktovik on Barter Island in the North Slope Borough of Alaska to PANC Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport located 4 nautical miles southwest of downtown Anchorage.

Finished loading with tourists and luggage in the Barter island which is famous as tourist place for large population of polar bears

The hanger of the airport as seen on first screenshot is same as the one in real world photo as seen below:

Fine set of Pics. Really liked the Arctic cold composition on the colors of the sky and that moon, ah memories. As for the Polar Bear well ah carry plenty of duck tape and a 30/30 for defense lol. Usually a warning shot suffices and they run off with a Yellow tail.

I'm not sure, but my good old school Ground Chief knows and calls it the best weld tool you can have in ya kit. Does CVA have any personal who are old school RCAF? They'd know. As for us pilots we don't get in the ground chiefs way or else your in for a loud ringing out. they protect the AC like there second wife or child.
