Hello everyone! Yesterday, due to IFATC being in the American Southwest, I decided to gear up in my very fitting Southwest 737-800!
I flew in the Canyon Blue Livery, because why not :). I still love it and it’s sad to see that it’s disappearing. Flight time was 1 hour and 32 minutes up to Reno and this flight was conducted on the expert server.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the photos!
Photo 1: Sitting at Gate C4 while a company 737-700 departs for Las Vegas, with the South Mountain Range in the background.
Photo 2: Roaring by on 25R, on our Takeoff Roll we pass another company aircraft, this time an -800, bound for Los Angeles.
Photo 3: Goodbye, Phoenix! We liftoff Runway 25R and start chasing the Sun. You can partially see the White Tank Mountain Range.
Photo 4: I tried to recreate one of my more popular shots. (Link Below.) I think I did pretty well! This is us crossing the mighty Colorado River into Nevada, South of Las Vegas.
Photo 5: Passing by busy Lost Wages with a nice view of the airport from 36,000 feet.
Photo 6: Skimming the Nevada/California border, we descended into Reno. This is us passing Lake Mono. Not Lake Stereo, sadly.
Photo 7: Banking over Markleeville, California (That’s fun to say!) As we turn to intercept the localizer into Reno.
Photo 8: Welcome to Reno! The local time is just past 7:45 in the evening. There’s a nice view of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in the back.
Photo 9: Thank you for flying with Southwest Airlines! Enjoy your stay in Reno. Here’s me parked at gate B07 after our spectacular flight :)
Thank you for stopping by and comment down below which one was your favorite :)
Thank you for viewing and have a great rest of your morning/afternoon/evening/night :)
