Leg 9 - PAPO Point Hope to UHMP Pevek

Total distance traveled: 3797nm
Route distance: 497nm
Plane used: BV-170
Route: PAPO - UHMI (Mys Shmidta) - UHMP

No AAR. Had some FG issues again.

This was a flight from Point Hope, Alaska to Pevek, Russia.

The flight over the northern sea was INCREDIBLY windy (40 kts from the NE), but once I got over the mainland things smoothed out.

This was pretty much the entire view for the first half of the flight:


UHMP was a... wierd... airport? It was on its own island, just off the coast. I'm chalking that up to scenery errors. Here's a couple shot of the airport after landing. Lots of low mountains in the distance.
I loved how desolate it was. There's nothing for hundreds of miles.
