After delivering a special package I learned that an airport not far away had some old vintage aircraft being restored. Naturally, I couldn't pass on an opportunity like this.

Hope you liked them

I flew from Cantwell (15AK) to Summit (UMM). Both airports are almost 100 nm south of Fairbanks.

A short hop, but I didn't feel like flying long since it was getting dark.

The addon scenery was the Golden North & Summit scenery packs by Frank Betts.
