Tour Description
The demanding Pacific Northwest Cargo operation, embarking in another tour Alaska Triangle Tour, utilizes reliable freighter aircraft like specialized Boeing 737s and the aging but sturdy Boeing 727 to complete its arduous three-leg tour of remote northern airstrips. This essential supply circuit begins far north on its first leg to the permafrost runway at Barrow, AK (Utqiagvik), with a large load bound for the Aleutians, landing second at the strategic weather station in Cold Bay, AK. From there, the cargo continues, to turn southeast toward the Gulf of Alaska, to the isolated, rain-swept airport of Yakutat, AK. Concluding the grueling loop back to Barrow, AK (Utqiagvik).
