Shalom and greetings all my pals!!

 

Here is nice Boeing 717-200 doing a very early morning business commuter Alaskan flight from KABE Bethel Airport three nautical miles southwest of the central business district of city of Bethel, Alaska to PANC Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport 4 nautical miles southwest of downtown Anchorage.

 

Waiting for pilots to arrive to board to do cold start at 7 am with gorgeous background view of sunrise

 

 

Fully boarded plane being pushed out of the gate

 

 

 

Starting engines while watching sunrise

 

 

Taxiing on taxiway C to short of runway 18 where passengers on right side of the plane are lucky to have complete view of sunrise

 

 

 

Holding position short of runway 18 with background view of snowy Alaskan landscape

 

 

Still holding short of runway 18 with background view of city of Bethel

 

 

Marveling at view of sunrise while yes still holding position short of rwy 18 because Alaskan sky was very busy full of planes being directed by hard working Alaskan controllers

 

 

Busy Alaskan airspace full of planes heading to PANC

nice shots, I think the 717 should have more operators, a shame that not many are interested in her

Darth Mop,

 

Thanks for kind words!!

 

After admiring my screenshots few times, I just noticed something wrong,

 

Take close look at the screenshots of plane during PANC landing and you will see something weird and bizarre happening!!

 

Anybody is more than welcome to try to spot bizarre occurrence!!!
