Los Angeles to Aspen
So there’s really not much to explain about this topic, besides that it was an event for @AmericanVirtual I’m not a fan of group flights but it was a really fun event to do, not my 2nd hehe. The route we were flying was Los Angeles to Aspen, Colorado. Aspen as you probably know, is right in the middle of the Rocky Mountains and is a major ski destination in the winter. We used the CRJ-700, which is used in real life, and flight time was 1 hour and 33 minutes.
Rotating off of runway 25R as two American A321s wait at their gates, one from Chicago, and one bound for Lihue on the Hawaiian paradise of KauaiPutting the gear up as we get ready to turn Northeast toward Aspen Climbing over North Los Angeles The full white moon from 37,000 feet The deserts of East California over the town of San Marino To be honest I don’t know what to say here besides the left wing view over Utah Starting to descend through the Rockies toward Aspen Putting the gear down before making our treacherous right turn Making the steep right turn threading the needle between 2 mountains On the ground with the other American Eagle CRJs!
As always please let me know your thoughts and your favorite photo!
Why was Aspen Settled in 1879?
- As a ski resort for business men in Denver
- As a mining town during the Colorado Silver Rush
- As a rainforest with exotic animals
The answer to yesterday’s question was Guadalajara, which was the only real answer so I’m surprised only 64% got it correct
