Shalom and greetings all my pals,

Exciting river approach toward runway 06 of PAVD Valdez Airport three nautical miles east of the business district of Valdez, Alaska can be pure beautiful and fun as you get to fly 3,000 ft above river THROUGH between mountains on way to runway 06!!

Descending to 3,000 above waters of Valdez Narrows river

Navigating above river through between mountains can be beautiful and EXCITING

DARN THE STRONG ALASKAN WINDS making me land right wheel first before left wheel

Left wheel gliding down to make runway contact

Front wheels on ground to complete the touchdown!!

To understand and see how DC-7 land on right wheel first before left wheel like I did in that flight, look at the other DC-7's landing:
