Cool pic Rick!!  (and all of it documented is documented as charter flights at MFC!.. And kind of have some extra time these day being lockedup! (or in lock-down) so have followed your route as you flew from Deadhorse to the Bahamas (and back into Florida) in your DHC3 otter. Your trip was over 5300 nm!

I made some notes as I'm trying to think down the road when we might be in the correct position/location in the MFC excursions at MFC to start flying eastward across North America to get us to the Bahamas as you just finished doing in your charters to see this area and investigate the new Bahamas scenery pieces that have been created.

So for everyone's benefit (and mine) here is the details of Rick's trip: from Deadhorse and the airports used to get down to the Bahamas. (Just one route whereas there are thousands of different routes that can be taken):

Rick's Route: (Part 1): PAVD > PAJN > PAKT > CYPR > CYVR > KGTF > KMCI > KATL  > MYGF >

Rick's Route: (Part 2): MYGF > MYBS > MYAX > MYAW > MYAT > MYBG > MYNN > MYAK > MYBC > MYGW > KLAL > 61FD > KMTH

So I have tabled this stuff and plotted it into Great Circle Mapper as well as in Skyvector: the Links are blow to see the details:

Thanks for flying at MFC Rick which allowed me to plot your route and put this little summary of your trip  together.

Kudos to Gregory Goodwin and all the guys who contributed to The Bahamas Airports Scenery package. 

Great work !  Really looking forward to the next part.   

P.S.  Used my brand new "Carenado Turbo Commander" to get there and back (today).  The Otter is TOOOO slow for the 'Long-Haul' ;) 

FYI... Airport 61FD "Chalk's Key West" is at the most westerly point in the Florida Keys. 

Stay 'Safe' and 'Healthy'
