Back to 1996, America West flight from LA to Phoenix!

[Guest Ps762]

Hi!

 

I don't normally go back in time for flights but one of the airlines I always liked but never flew on was America West and one of the periods where I did the most travelling in my life was the 90s so thought I'd try this!

 

The flight was a 1pm departure from LAX for the roughly 1 hour flight to Phoenix Sky Harbor. The aircraft used was an Airbus A319.

 

Pushing back from the gate:

 

 

 

Lined up Runway 7L:

Ready to touchdown:

 

 

 

Parked and unloading at the gate. Ladies and gentlemen welcome to Phoenix!

 

 

 

Hope people liked this flight from the 90s. I definitely enjoyed flying it!

 

Many thanks,

Nice flight and screen shots. 1996 does not seem all that long ago.
