Taxiing Through Clouds (No Kidding)

Recommended Posts

Shalom and greetings all my pals,

Presenting recreation of real life Braniff flight of  DC-8-62's arrival at KCOS City of Colorado Springs Municipal Airport located 6 miles  southeast of Colorado Springs, Colorado that is the second busiest commercial service airport in the state

Seconds before touchdown on runway 35R after two circles waiting for turn to land due to heavy commuter traffic between KCOS and KDEN

Those are not clouds. Those are "areas of locally reduced visibility".
