Mission 4: Bradley Lake (0AK7) to Lowell Field (00AK)

This is the fourth in a continuing exploration trip in “rugged” Alaskan glacier scenery. In this trip we’ll depart Bradley Lake (Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Project Airstrip) (0AK7) and travel through various glacier areas to our destination being Lowell Field (00AK). We are on the southern side of the Kenai Peninsula for much of trip before crossing Kachemak Bay to the north side of the Kenai Peninsula.

NOTE: For those of you who don't like "missions" per say, I have included the flight plan (both LNM and MSFS version) on which this bush trip is based as well as have included a sky vector map link for those who might want to remove any automated nav aids and navigate via static map, dead reckoning and marking land marks to ascertain position. (But make sure you grab your watch or E6B just in case: don’t want to get lost!)
