Great Video - I flew 170 for 20 years up there - Go fly outta McGrath - that will make Anchorage feel like summer. 1974 to 2006. Thanks !

Did u guys pre heat it?

[@ALASKACROPCIRCLEUNIVERSITY]

We preheated for about an hour and a half, usually Ivan pre heats about 12 hours.

[@PostcardsfromAlaska]

😮

[@swiftadventurer]

@@ALASKACROPCIRCLEUNIVERSITY whoa, no AMOUNT of time preheating an engine equals a preheated engine if you don't know that the oil and CHT temps are even climbing, let alone up to specs that manuf requires before starting. Scary that those needles are still at the stops on the dial just before takeoff.

Looks like you’ve got a leaky fuel bladder

it was parked at a different strip for work to be done and while it was there 30 gallons was stolen out of it , they spilled it has they took it. Good eye and thanks for mentioning it and watching
