Shalom and greetings all my pals,

Presenting a nice Western airline flight abroad 737-200 with cream color Indian chief Western livery from PADQ Kodiak Benny Benson State Airport located four nautical miles southwest of the central business district of Kodiak on Kodiak Island in Alaska to PANC Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport located 5 miles southwest of downtown Anchorage.

Since PADQ does not have pushback tugs, the plane is making tight u-turn toward taxiway

Image

Taxiing to short of runway 07
