The final arrival at Sola for the Musum. 01-06-2020 N151 took off from Faribanks, and after ca 30 minutes had to return and go back due to a problem with engine no 3.

The "QRILL PET ARCTIC WORLD SERIES" is an important sign of how this ferry flight was made possible.

Rocketing out of Anchorage for Bethel as 'Everts (VTS) 872" with the last bit of light left in the day shining on the aircraft. This was taken around 4:00pm local time.

Pushed back for departure to Bethel as "Everts (VTS) 874". Shortly after taking this shot, it pulled back into the ramp with some sort of issue.

"Everts (VTS) 640" to Aniak departs Runway 33 with the Anchorage skyline in behind, with all four Wasp engines roaring away. Definitely the highlight of my trip to "The Last Frontier!"

Taxiing out on a cold winter's morning for Nome as "Everts (VTS) 880" is one of eight MD-80 family aircraft in the fleet. This one being 30 years old, and no stranger to Alaska having been delivered to Alaska Airlines back in March, 1994.

Parked with other Everts DC-9 freighters and unlikely to see further service, the carrier having graduated to the more capable and economical MD-80 series.
