PIREP Angel: Food-10 and return to McGrath

Food-10 and return to McGrath

Once again, took off heavy loaded from McGrath. Headed VFR direct to Ophir. I coudn't find the strip and even with Connie's help I could only find when I was almost over it. Had to maneuver the 208 to the edge to get down and safe into Ophir. A lot of tall trees around it. I'm starting to make a habit of getting branches into my landing gear. Check out this picture, I was so close that even the tree ducked!!


Good thing Connie is getting used to it or I would have to get earplugs into my headset. After all that twisting it's amazing that I got BOTH wheels on the strip.



We stayed around for a little bit as she had to do her reporting thing and I had to go out into the largest men's bathroom in the world.

Once unloaded we headed back to McGrath for some more rest and TV time.


PAMC-Z17-PAMC : 40 minutes.

Currently standing by at McGrath.
