Cockpit Chronicles: A Landing Fit For A King

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

The two approaches that made me pucker up were the checkerboard approach into Hong Kong and Kodiak Alaska. On the plate for Kodiak there is an underlined comment that there is "no missed approach prioceedure" .To show everybody that is a true statement, there was the wreckage of a Lockeed P3 smashed into the mountain where he hit when he attempted a missed appraoch.

In the early 1970s, I was a navy doc at Kodiak and learned to fly there. The main runway has small mountains to the left and right and a 2500ft one right at the end. Also, there are never more than 10 nice days at a time. Fun.
