    This afternoon, we’re continuing our journey on Alaska Airlines' famous milk run. In the last episode we left off on the ramp in Yakutat, Alaska (YAK). Today, we pick back up there, as we continue to what may be the most beautiful city I’ve ever visited… Juneau, Alaska (JNU). Juneau, is the capital of Alaska and is located in the Gastineau Channel. Surrounded by Glacier Bay National Park, and the Glacier Bay Basin, there is nowhere else like it! Juneau is also the second-largest city in the United States by land area. It is beaten only by one city, that we will fly to in the next segment of the milk run…. And, no. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not Phoenix, Arizona. This short one hour flight, may hold the crown for the most beautiful flight I’ve ever taken. I say that, but the next segment of the milk run was just as good if not better. I told you these flights only get better as we go! Enjoy!

    You weren't kidding when you said it gets better down the line! Up until this point,sitting on the left side was a personal choice--seeing that steep turn and descent into JNU certainly was a jackpot for you,doing a 'flyby' of JNU as well,what luck! If indeed the pilot ferried fuel from ANC, he LOVES to burn fuel,sitting as we did at YAK,after moving a few feet from the 'shackport'--neat shot of an Alaskan cargo flight on final, surprised the captain never made an announcement as to why you were waiting for so long before taxiing to the runway--wondering if Alaskan does nighttime 'milk runs'? Would be challenging to land at CDV or YAK in the dark--glad you decided to part ways with your aircraft here,time to get some food,get some exercise and crash at your hotel--any energy for sightseeing? JNU isn't far from Canada,a country still off-limits to US citizens. The scenery here,while spectacular,reminds me of NW Montana,Colorado and Salt Lake City

    • @sla31
      @sla31  3 года назад

      I do think I got the best possible shots on this flight. Ultimately, I’m not sure why we sat so long on the ramp expect that there was another Alaska flight inbound that you noted. With no control tower and no radar, perhaps they chose to be ultra cautious considering both aircraft needed to be on the runway for a considerable amount of time due to the back taxiing required. I didn’t get out much in Juno. I got a bite to eat and crashed. Although, it was somewhat hard to sleep, considering the grounds keepers at the hotel we’re working until after 10:00pm. I guess with that much light, you can keep working well into the night…

    I must say, I've loved these "Milk Run" videos so much! You definitely weren't lying when you said how beaufitul the footage would be! Watching these really makes me want to fly up to Alaska now and do them. I've also never been to Alaska yet, but these flights are absolutely an excuse for me to go lol. Question though, do you actually get off the plane or do you just stay one for the next leg? Is it pretty similar to the United Airlines "Island Hopper" flights?

    • @sla31
      @sla31  3 года назад +1

      Thanks my friend. I’m glad you’re enjoying them. I certainly enjoyed taking them. As for your question. Most of the stops you are encouraged to stay on the aircraft. From what I gathered, you could step off the plane if you wanted to. But the small cities like Yakutat, Cordova, Sitka, etc. There are no amenities inside the terminal, and you have to re-clear security to get back on. So again, it was suggested that you remain on the aircraft. At the slightly larger cities like Juneau and Ketchikan, you could get off and grab something to eat or use the restroom, similar to a through flight on Southwest.

    • @sla31
      @sla31  3 года назад +1

      It’s also worth mentioning, that we were running quite ahead of schedule on most of these flights. So, we were on the ground sometimes for over an hour. I don’t know if that was because the weather was so good, or if Alaska intentionally pads the schedules on these flights. Either way, if I hadn’t stopped to overnight in Juneau to catch another milk run the next day, I would’ve gotten off in Juneau. And on the flight the next day, I got off in Ketchikan for about an hour.

    Why did the pilot turn on the runway and then do a 180 for take off? I've never seen that before.

    • @sla31
      @sla31  3 года назад +1

      Well, at Yakutat, the taxiway doesn't connect directly to the end of the runway. So, in order to use the whole runway, the pilots must back taxi, then swing a 180 to takeoff. Did we need the whole runway? Probably not. Could we have taken off at the intersection and been fine? Probably. But it's common practice in aviation to utilize the entire available runway, regardless of how much you need, to give yourself the most buffer in the event of an emergency.
