| Comments: | Science flight to west and southwest Alaska short of the peninsula. This was a very busy flight with seven spiral descents and missed approaches made at Fort Yukon, Bettles, Kotzebue, Unalakleet, Platinum, McGrath, back to Fort Yukon and finally a spiral descent with a landing Fairbanks. Weather was very good for most of the flight. This was the final local science flight for ASCENDS 2017. The transit flight is August 7 with data acquisition en route. | ||||
