What makes this journey even more remarkable is that it was done in a small Piper Arrow aircraft, not exactly your typical cross-country jet. Together, the duo navigated vast Alaskan skies, flying over glaciers, mountain ranges, and endless wilderness, making landings in 14 different cities and remote locations along the way. Captain Mishaal described the experience as nothing short of extraordinary. “Alhamdulillah, by the grace of God, Captain Mark Kalkins and I completed a unique 4,450 km journey around Alaska in 7 days, landing in 14 cities and remote areas, all in a small Piper Arrow aircraft,” he shared.

The mission wasn’t just about distance or speed, it was about embracing the challenge of flying in extreme conditions, discovering the beauty of Alaska from above, and showcasing the spirit of Saudi exploration and aviation excellence! 

From icy runways to breathtaking aerial views, this journey was one for the books. And for Captain Mishaal, it’s a proud milestone that highlights what’s possible with a passion for flight and a bold sense of adventure.
