MFC0048 Rockies 8 - Jackson Hole WY to Missoula Intl MO (KJAC-KMSO)
We continue northward in our mountain journey (#8) from Jackson Hole, Wyoming (KJAC) to Missoula Intl. (KMSO) Montana.
Montana is a state in the Northwestern United States. Montana has several nicknames: "Big Sky Country" and "The Treasure State",
"Land of the Shining Mountains" or "The Last Best Place". Montana is the fourth-largest in area, the 8th least populous, and the
third-least densely populated of the 50 U.S. states. The western half of Montana contains numerous mountain ranges. In all, 77 named
ranges are part of the Rocky Mountains to which we will explore some in this excursion as well as some parts of Yellowstone National Park.
Again we’ll be crossing rugged terrain in this trip so a heavier duty aircraft is in order as we navigate through river valleys,
canyons and the mountain ranges.
All landings in this excursion are again nice land runways. There are 12 legs in this trip: each with one stop-over:
Recommendation is a twin engine aircraft: standard or turbo prop which has enough power to quickly climb and also to navigate
the twists and turns IE: Beech 18, AC500, Twotter DHC6, King Air/variation (B200, 350) or even Twin Cessna perhaps. I might try the
King Air B200 or 350 or a Cessna 421 in this trip but feel free to fly the aircraft of your choosing.
For the helicopter pilots out there a more rugged helicopter might provide a better ability to navigate this excursion rather than a
lighter one. But again whatever works for you. (Floats or amphibians are not necessary in this excursion!!)
