Hey everyone!

Welcome back to my new and improved style. After a lot of you had complaints about my style being too “bright” I decided to change it a bit. Hope you like it! I did this very interesting flight with an incredibly amazing approach, as you have to turn final just moments before touchdown.

I just added the approach chart if anyone wants to do it, I highly recommend it! Keep in mind I came from the “SEVRA” STAR.

I like most of the pics, but some of them are too backlit. The banking shot is spot on though

Thanks Lucas! I did not add any sort of light to make the “backlit” effect, but it’s because I increased a bit of the fog in the game which made the photos a little bit whiter.

Nice shots! I enjoy both of your photography styles. I didn’t even know that you could fly from SFO to TIJ in solo. Looks like a great landing.

Thanks Snoman! This airport has a lot of hills around it, which makes it quite challenging!
