March 24, 20197 yr Following on from my previous post (here), I'm about to find another A340 to fly to Munich but I've been distracted by new shiny things... Aerosoft just released the A320/321 and iFly the HD update to their P3Dv4 737NG. I did a quick KSFO PHNL PANC KSEA KSFO circuit, all with Alaska Airlines and their new (then) aquisition of Virgin America. First up, Virgin America (still running 'their' flights at this point) A320 evening flight to PHNL. Old KSFO jetways not working, using buses and steps to board the aircraft. Shortly after take off flying past some bridge. Climbing out over the Pacific as the sun sets. A lot of darkness and water later... short final to 4R. Slightly erratic lighting but parked at the gate. Next up, Alaska 737-800 to PANC, ASA871, another night flight over the Pacific. Albino Atlas Air 747 departing as we board. Shortly after take off looking at Waikiki Saw an old shed plying it's trade, couldn't resist a quick snap, it's as photogenic as the day it was conceived (i.e. not at all). Aeroplane over water at night with lights on. A few hours later (I was hoping there would be some light) we're approaching Anchorage. Parked up and we're all still tired... I was hoping to get all 4 flights in one post but I couldn't choose so it's spilt into 2. Here's the next, an Alaska B737-900 flight down to KSEA. It's ASA82, the early morning (red eye? or are they in the evening/night?) flight, today in the Disney themed paint. Local traffic (Grant Aviation) avoiding the hills and clouds endemic in Alaska. Big cargo base, PANC, plenty of evidence for that. Even the super big LCF jumbo is here. And the normal one. Looking back after take off and there's another LCF Definitely Alaska Clearing up as we make our way south. As we approach Seattle though, clouds and mountains return. See here for the rest of this flight and a SanFran Giants A321 down to, well, SanFran. Edited March 24, 20197 yr by iwebber
