Last night (Late Afternoon In LA) I flew from Los Angeles to Yosemite, Skywest flies the CRJ-200 In real life and with that being free I decided to try it. It’s amazing how In a 45 minute flight, the weather can go from 75 degrees to 20 degrees. Yosemite has a fun approach over the Sierra-Nevada Mountains and is 7000 feet above sea level.

Nice shots!
I’ve flown to into mammoth more time than I can count, and it never gets old!
FYI MMH only gets CRJ-700s, the -200 doesn’t have the performance to get out of there.

It’s a very fun approach! I ended up being too high so I had to do a slow 360 to lose some altitude

You are indeed correct, I don’t know why I said that the 200 flies in, and I’m jealous of you fly in a lot because I can imagine how amazing it is

Thanks! It was amazing in game how fast the scenery goes from Orange Mountains, to desert, to snow

It was a little shaky on approach and the landing was pretty awful so that’s why I didn’t show the moment of touchdown 😬

It was a little rough because I ended up being a little too high
