Please View: A320 Portland to Denver (PART 2)

[ryanbatc 13,035]

Arrival into Denver - first I decided to get lower as 390 was quite turbulent.  Company reporter smooth rides in the high 20's to low 30's so we opted for FL310 until descent

Some really interesting geographical formations along my route

Honestly the reason I like this shot is silly - but the lid of that cup looks so incredibly perfect - it's exactly what the material looks like irl

Agree on the cup. And a beautifully scenic arrival into the Denver area.

Thanks boys - starting to fly this thing more haha.  It's nice climbing out at 300 kias at like 4000 fpm lol - so much more power than those little bizjets.

Very nice conclusion to trip...and lovely pictures... (including aerial scenery) ...!!

Sure, you enjoyed (virtually) the Coffee...btw, did you try the Tray Table...🙂....one of the amenities there...?

 

[ryanbatc 13,035]

I have not tried the tray table....  I suppose it makes sense they'd have that with no yoke in the way hehe.

Fantastic shots, Ryan!! Is that your paint job? Looks excellent !

[Steve Dra 7,605]

Can the alien who took over Ryan's body and impersonating him, please stop posting airliner pics...its a dead giveaway that its not Ryan as we all know he only flies, paints and posts GA pics!

Besides, these pics are so good they are making my airliner pics look terrible! 🥴  Can't wait until that painter puts this awesome livery on the aircraft model she really belongs on! 😉

Yeah I need to get back to GA - I have a few shots of the 414 going from DEN to AXX I need to post.

Yeah I suppose that is a 737-700 paint?

737-800 if we want to be completely accurate. 😉   SWA is quite famous for being a 737 only operator, and seeing that paint on an Airbus can really trigger a diehard SWA fan, hehe (I'm not one even though they fly over my house every day at 1000 feet on their way to landing at their home base at Dallas Love Field.

The paint is stunning and no discredit to the painter...and I can only imagine he's chomping at the bit to get a 737-800 to put her on.
