Miami-Santiago :: AmeriCay Inaugural Service

[Mr_Schutte 2]

Welcome Aboard!

 

Last night marked the first flight to Santiago, Chile from Miami, in our brand new B767-300ER. AmeriCay has also launched direct service to Paris from Miami, and a wealth of other, shorter flights for you all to enjoy. Speaking of enjoying, the shots, enjoy!

 

We pushed from the J concourse in Miami and as we taxiied to RWY09 in Miami, a water cannon salute to mark our brand new service;

 

 

Taxiing to RWY09 via Papa and Sierra;

 

 

Lined up and ready for departure, RWY09;

 

 

After departure we climb out and enjoy a view of downtown Miami second to none;

 

 

Fast forward 7 hours and we descend into Chile;

 

 

Intercepting the ILS for RWY17R, visibility isn't terrific;

 

 

Field in sight, autopilot disconnected and hand flying to the ground;

 

 

Runway vacated and a very warm welcome from the local fire service as we taxi to the gate in Chile for the first time;

 

 

A view of the impressive terminal here in Santiago;

 

 

At the gate, exactly 8 hours after pushing back from Miami, not bad!

 

 

 

Thanks for coming along, hope you had fun!

Great shots !! Just fantastic.

 

What scenery is the 7th shot? And the airport is LatinVFR I'm guessing?

 

Cheers

Both sceneries are LatinVFR and I used this image;

Played with the opacity etc. to create the effect, I placed the firetrucks there myself in both sceneries.

 

Thanks again!
