We took the northern route of the USA for a journey that at first we did travel to Seattle and Alaska Air flight after we left to explore the Anchorage Airport. The days we had dedicated to spotting, we were surprised at the quality points spot! Easy, pleasant, peaceful, but you had to watch out for bears and mosquitoes! Usually early morning traffic begins with the arrival of several cargo planes of UPS and FedEx mail with many large aircraft. Then it is the passenger departures, and returns the short rotations. Around 11 am until 14h is rush hour with the arrival of trans-Pacific flights and many Asian companies! We saw land on less than one hour 7 B747 and MD11 4! Then the day gets a little activity at 18h until sunset with freighters leave this time to Asia, including Boeing Dreamlifter! We stayed in the Hotel Alex, right next to the airport and we rented a car, mandatory to navigate the roads around the tracks. Finally, no need for GPS there are only a few roads!
