Shalom and greetings all my pals,

Exciting river approach toward runway 06 of PAVD Valdez Airport  three nautical miles east of the business district of Valdez, Alaska can be pure beautiful and fun as you get to fly 3,000 ft above river THROUGH between mountains on way to runway 06!!

To understand and see how DC-7 land on right wheel first before left wheel like I did in that flight, look at the other DC-7's landing:
