by Jim Kincaid,
The Quiet Hour has made available to AWA this donated Cessna 421B, Golden Eagle, for a period of several years. It is their goal to use it to support mission teams, medivac needs, and other transportation requirements that may arise. The aircraft is pressurized and designed for high altitude use. Additionally, it is equipped with anti-icing and de-icing equipment.
Pictured on the tarmac at Sitka, Alaska, are Jim Kincaid, AWA-Alaska Project Manager; Michael Porter, The Quiet Hour CEO; Ryan Woehler, AWA Volunteer Check Airman; and George Alder, AWA line pilot. All four pilots are Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) rated, and all four participated in ferrying the C-421B airplane to Alaska from Phoenix, AZ. Ryan Woehler was the chief pilot of the ferry team. The three AWA pilots have all completed C-421 make/model specific training in preparation for the launch of this aircraft.
The trip from Phoenix to Anchorage landed in Boise, Idaho; Bellingham, Washington; Sitka, Alaska; and finally in Anchorage. The pilots used about 14 hours of flight time, averaging just under 200 miles per hour at economy power settings at altitudes between 16 and 22,000 feet.
