Picture of the Day: A Cardinal flies the Alaska Range

By General Aviation News Staff · June 4, 2025 · 1 Comment

Dave Montgomery submitted this photo and note: “I flew my 1976 Cessna Cardinal from Chicago to Alaska. I happened on the perfect day to fly from Fairbanks to Merrill Field in Anchorage, passing through the Alaska Range, all at 4,500 feet, and I was fortunate to take this picture of Mt Denali.”

On final for Runway 25 at Merrill Field after a flight down from Fairbanks in my 1976 Cessna Cardinal, B model.

    Nice! Glad you got a summertime image of “The Mountain” pretty rare to see it in daytime.
