Shalom and greetings all my pals,

Here is Eastern's exclusive fare saving Moonlight Special night flight from KMCI Kansas City International Airport 15 miles northwest of downtown Kansas City, Missouri to KMSP Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport within ten miles of both downtown Minneapolis and downtown Saint Paul both in Minnesota.

Starting engines in freezing weather



Taxiing on taxiway B toward runway 19R



Airborne on climb to FL330 with nice background view of the airport



Climbing to 4,000 feet first before making 180 degree turn toward Minnesota



Gorgeous view of Kansas City basked in night lights and you can easily see business district of the city!!



Making left 180 degree turn toward north with background view of entire city of Kansas City where you can see Kansas river below the engine and highway route number 32 on left side of the river



Era 1980 Newspaper photograph style!!!!



Dig the view of Kansas City where any of you being Kansas City resident can easily identify avenues or streets or neighborhoods!!





You can see below the plane KMKC Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport and Missouri River crossed by three bridges starting from next to KMKC airport to bottom: Broadway Blvd Extension route 169 Bridge,  Route 9 Heart Of America Bridge, and  Route 29 Paseo Bridge that go to business district of Kansas City



After completing 180 degree turn still climbing to FL330 to north to Minnesota with background view of KMCI airport and city of Leavenworth



Leaving landscape view of Kansas City and Leavenworth as well as the airport of departure



Gorgeous sunrise





Passing a small Missouri city



Now cruising at FL330
