Quest Kodiak Aircraft, Valdez Airport, Alaska

I entered the Valdez Short Field Takeoff and Landing Competition. Due to bad weather, there were only 15 airplane on Saturday for the fly-in. I entered the Heavy Class along with a C-180 and G8 Airvan. The Kodiak airplane has over 200 gallons of Jet A and 2000 lbs heavier than the other two airplane. I finished third but had a great time in the competition.
