Powerful Thunderstorm Runway Approach

[Aharon 606]

Shalom and greetings all my pals,

 

Here is a nice Central American flight from MSLP El Salvador International Airport located about 31 miles from San Salvador in El Salvador to MMMA General Juan N. Ãlvarez International Airport located 26 km 16 miles from Acapulco, Mexico.

 

Taxiing from the terminal gate on way to short of runway 07

 

 

Still taxiing

 

 

Entering into runway 07 for take off via BARAS departure

 

 

 

Airborne on climb to FL360 making little left turn to BARAS with background view of town of Los Huezo where you can see highway route number RN 05 running from El Salvador to the airport

 

 

Still climbing to FL360 while passing lake called Lago de Ilopango which is crater lake filling 28 sq miles of volcanic caldera with last volcano eruption in 1880

 

 

Passing city of San Salvador, Lago de Ilopango lake just below jet engine, and Lempa River 78 km north of San Salvador seen above the engine

 

 

Time to head to BARAS to Pacific ocean shore to fly along western shores of Central America straight up to Mexico

 

 

Cockpit view of intercepting BARAS where you can tell from that view that flight along western coasts of Central America is going to be fun and gorgeous!!

 

 

Cruising at FL360 via UA317 and J1 routes along the western coast

 

 

 

 

On descent from FL360 to 10,000 ft now at FL150 where you can see heavy clouds gathering with warning from MMAA airport control tower about coming powerful thunderstorm

Love the foul weather.

 

I'm guessing this is not FSX, I certainly don't get awesome rain and lightening like that.

Cool, but scary! I wouldn't want to be aboard that plane

Thanks all for kind words!!!

You are right:) It is edited:) Heavy rain and electric lightings come from editing software.
