Alaska 813… Loading PAX onto the plane!


Takeoff from PDX!

Brief Cruise with a fantastic view of Mt. Rainier

Man… those winds were something else!!

Touchdown at RWY 16C at Seattle!

ASA813: “Alaska 813, going around”
TWR: “Alaska 813, Roger, fly runway heading, climb to 3000.”
ASA813: Runway heading, 3000, Alaska 813.”
TWR: “813, what was the reason for the go-around?”

Touchdown! (For real, this time.)

Nice pics. Reminded me of the extreme turbulence above Seattle when I was doing YVR to LAX XD.

Not just Seattle, the wind in southeastern Washington is wild here! It’s topping out around 55 mph!

I always forget that I can go around, nice decision!

lol it’s the winds fault

How is this disappointing…

@RedWolf to be fair, there were variable winds going wild and in many different directions pushing me down and sideways all the time.

😂 55 hahaha back in early January we got 70-80 mph

All jokes aside stay safe
