Cool

Sorry to hear the wreck is gone, was a good visual aid at the time.. but nowadays with GPS....
Is the Catalina wrek in the valley to the left just before turning to UAQ still there ? Also a good spot to remind that this is not the right valley !
I heard that both ICE and SAS have dropped UAQ from their schedules, so they only get the Dash7 now.....and the odd diversion...
I have made a 180 inside that fjord with a 727-100 with 8/8 at 500 feet , visi of 2-3 K and wind up to 70 Kts...with a GPWS shouting at you all the time, I was glad when we saw the open sea again I can tell you.
Who would like to divert to such a place anyway ?
