Got an awesome shot of a not-so-seen airplane in a not-so-visited area, take a guess! The link may give it away.

Evarts in Dutch harbor? I don't know if I'd call that rare, haha.

Some days I miss Dutch Harbor.

It seems to be a couple times per year. So not super often.

I used to do grunt work on those.

How come they look like they aren't really climbing at all?? Looks like a cool place to visit!

Because it's not a jet.

Well I know that lol I just thought that it would climb out better than my piper aztec did... maybe it's just the angle, just looked like a real shallow climb

I have heard the do a high speed, low climb rate to keep the engines cool.

It looked like it was low enough to be sucking cool ocean spray through the cowl.

I've got a crisp Georege Washington that says they've done that run a thousand times and flying low over the harbor adds a little spice to an otherwise unremarkable day.
