Fly To Whittier (Alaska) (Winter)
A winter flight in a Cessna 172 leaving Merrill Field and heading to Whittier just over the Portage Pass (which you will need to be above 5000ft to cross).
There is not much in Whittier but some Oil stuff but it is a nice flight hopefully. Whittier is a 1 way in 1 way out airfield with just a small gravel strip and you'll need to descend over the bay there to get down from 5000ft to sea level.
