The trip from Chuleman to Yakutsk is a shorter hop again, at 345nm. Basically due north, over the mountains that form a ring around the coal deposits. Took off from the minimalist landscape at 5am. Because there's nothing paved, FS put me at the end of the runway, and proceeded to pretend that I had to taxi to the runway. Took, like, no time at all...
At the end of the runway
It's another looooooong one...
Looking back
En Route
Coming even to Yakutsk, on the Lena river. There's no bridge for hundreds of miles, but the highway is on the other side. In the summer, you cross on a ferry, in the winter- drive over the ice.
On final
