This WILL count as day 14 of my 25 days of pictures advent calendar
I’m hoping we all are having a good Saturday and have enjoy the first few flights on the all new Boeing 737MAX8, I went through a phase with this aircraft 2 summers ago which thankfully is over but it’s still one of my favourite aircraft ever built but why? Well my favourite air route from Miami 🏝️😎 to Cali, Colombia 🇨🇴 uses the B38M and I was obsessed with this route and would constantly do it in IF and I still do it regularly to this day using variety of aircraft like the Avianca A320, American Airlines Boeing 737-800, 757-200 and even the 787-8 Dreamliner as it was used during a high demand period the spring of that year and ever since the latter event ended, the B38M has been the aircraft used and since I have some connections to the route, I figured it would be the first route I did with this new bird so here we go!

The aircraft for todays journey is N302SS a January 2021 built Boeing 737MAX8 which in the real world has been parked in Jacksonville since August for some reason but this isn’t real life, it’s a video game so it’s flying today to Cali!
My first take off on this aircraft live had to be accompanied with crosswinds which to me were concerning since Tyler said that the rudder is sensitive in the tutorial video but luckily it didn’t go as bad as expected 😅 a
Skipping around a bit in the air and we find ourselves leaving Jamaica 🇯🇲 behind!
More skipping around we find ourselves on final for CLOs runway 02 ending the first flight of the day.

After deplaning from gate D17 to get myself a chicken sandwich 🥪🍗 along with an ice cream from a Ventolini in the departures hall, it’s time to get back onboard our aircraft to fly back to the 305! 🏝️😎
Thankfully, our departure from Cali wouldn’t have us deal with crosswinds which made our lives much easier compared to that take off from MIA earlier.
Can’t go wrong with the MAXES winglet as we pass the Caribbean coast of Colombia 🇨🇴🏝️ behind!
Passing right by Jamaica 🇯🇲 once again but accompanied with a BEAUTIFUL sunset 🌅🧡
As it got darker, we got closer to MIA and soon enough we were on final for MIAs RWY 09 running directly parallel with Florida Route-836 locally referred to as the Dolphin Expressway 🛣️🐬
Our day of flying ends where it began, Miami International Airports north terminal concourse D the home of American Airlines here in the magic city 🏝️😎 I really enjoyed both flights today and i can’t wait to fly the MAX again whether it be on a short intra Florida hop, a flight up the east coast, out into the Caribbean or Latin America or even from the Los Angeles 🌴📸 area to Hawaii 🏝️🐢🌺 stay tuned for next Friday as I embark on the final trip of 2024 and as always between now and the next time, see you in the sky! 😉👋
