Early morning flight from Anchorage to Juneau


Recommended Posts

Hi folks,

 

I haven't done this for quite some time but today I took the plunge and flew a fantastic flight from Anchorge Int'l (PANC) to Juneau Int'l (PAJN) with the fabulous PMDG 737 NGX.

 

After a successful engine start of our today's aircraft N617AS we are taxiing out to runway 33 for an early 8:05 am departure as Alaska Airlines 62.

Lined up with runway 33, heads-up display down and advancing the throttles.

Gear up and we are leaving Anchorage Int'l airport below us. NOEND1 departure is leading us to the north, then east and finally on a southern course. What a great name for a SID.

Still dark outside but the sun is slowly rising. I really love those HUD operations.

A bit later and further - the sun at its full glory and cruising along the coastline of Southern Alaska.

Not only the sun looks stunning, so does the open sea.

One of a few clouds our 737 soars through on approach to Juneau.

On finals for runway 08. Excuse the high vertical speed I haven't used the HUD for visuals for some time.

The lead-in lightning system guides us the way in. Not really necessary in such good and clear weather conditions.
