Mush I say! Mush!

This accomplishment is awarded to pilots who travel to a specific list of destinations in the western part of Canada and some of the more rural airports in Alaska. Be sure to check the weather and runway lengths before selecting your aircraft. Remember you must fly “to” these airports, not merely visit them. There are 26 airports you need to fly to in order to achieve this accomplishment. All of them are in cold locations so be sure to bring a jacket.

I plan on releasing a really fun accomplishment on Memorial Day Weekend that I'm sure you'll all love (or hate). smile

Well, I'll be going up to Alaska when I get a chance. Thanks again! Now to think about what could possibly go wrong with Memorial Day...

Ha ha. Its just a target day, the accomplishment has nothing to do with Memorial Day. I wanted to release it the Friday before so you all have something to do over the 3-day weekend.

I think I have a good idea what it is... but no spoilers should be opened (pun intended).

Keep in mind the key is flying into these airports. You can't merely fly from one to the other and gain 2 airports towards your achievement.

I'm already anticipating the help desk emails "How come I don't get credit for an airport when I just took off from it???" smile
