The Yanks are Coming! - Leg 04 - Friday, 30-Jul-21

Post by Paughco »

Fellow Misfits: Our next mission on Friday, July 30rd will be a transit across Greenland, from Narsaruaq Airport (BGBW) to Kulusuk (BGKK), which is on Kulusuk Island, just off the east coast of the Greenland mainland. The strip is gravel, elevation 117 ft MSL and 3,934 ft long.

The Kulusuk Airstrip was built by the US defense in 1956, in order to support a Distant Early Warning Line station. The defense station was closed in 1991. Many remnants of the US military use of the field remain, including vehicles and plant used by the military to maintain the strip. Like some other airports in Greenland it was not built at a location suitable for civilian travel, i.e. not near the local major settlement.

Here's the Skyvector representation of our third flight, designated TYAC 04: https://skyvector.com/?ll=63.4522278619 ... 0DA%20BGKK.

Preferred aircraft is the Boeing B-17. Bring a long-legged warbird if you don't have a 'Fort. Block fuel for the B-17G for this mission will be 638 gallons. The flight will take about 2 hr 2 min.

Meet at: 1730z for a 1800z departure.

Meet on: Digital Theme Park on JoinFS.

Comms through A2A Discord channel.

Local takeoff time: 1100.

Weather: historic, set for 1100, July 30, 2021.

I'll post the LNV flight plan on Discord. Hey - what's the worst that can happen?
