@John F Dusk and dawn flights are always so realistic in the sim!

@Jack_Sawyer Programmed custom waypoints in the GTN750 all the way to final. She is still a narrow runway and always an exciting approach!

That’s cool, I love the 750.

Magnificent images and awesome capture of the lighting effects...!
