Darn, I forgot to record it last night! angry.gif

It is quite an interesting program though, lots of variation, from instructors to crash investigation. smile.gif

Yes it was pretty interesting. Landing on a busy highway was a bit insane, but perfectly legal for bush pilots to do in Alaska !! Real seat of the pants flying.
