Scenic and Somewhat Aesthetic Shots
Hi everyone! I hope that this period of isolation is treating y’all well. Because of such circumstances, I’m able to fly more and with that comes some great snaps! So today I present to you some pics that, in my opinion, deserve a spot on this thread. I’ll provide some info such as route and time.
United B78X @ Hawaii
First off I bring to you this glowing Dreamliner. The route flown was KSFO-NZAA and honestly flying the pencil across the Pacific was different than usual. You don’t see Hawaii, but I was overhead as the sun set. Total time- 12:53
Jackson Hole and the TBM @ KJAC
If you haven’t been to Jackson, then this is a must see! Flying from Missoula, the TBM wing coupled with the sun kissed mountains are a beautiful sight to see. Total time- 0:57
Alaska A320 @ MMSD
This flight was between San Jose and San Jose. Yeah that’s right, you can fly from SJC-SJD, which to me is amazing and humorous. As we approach final, this mountain serves as a perfect backdrop to the photograph. I’m taking this time to explore more of Russia in a career mode trajectory (depart arriving airport etc.).Total time- 2:28
KLM B737 @ ULLI
The Dutch baby about to land in St. Petersburg, Russia from Amsterdam The sun, the glowing runway, and overall the timing of this photograph is well done. From here, I decided to explore the rest of Russia (more on that later). Total time- 2:25
Kenya Airways B788 @ KJFK
It was IFATC at home day, so there’s no better way to start it than to fly right back home! So I decided to hop on the 788 and fly all the way from Nairobi. And what better way to arrive than with the Canarsie Visual! @Joseph_Spinner was Tower and let me tell you I loved this experience. Total time- 14:56
Aeroflot A320 @ UNNT
So here I am flying from UUEE to Abakan (UNAA). Perfect red-eye flight and the sun begins to rise over Novosibirsk. The engine glow is beautiful to me and with less than 1 hour remaining in flight , it was surely a sight to witness. Total time- 4:17
TBM 930 @ KASE
These next shots were taken today. Decided it was a good time to fly to Aspen from Burbank to try that approach. Wasn’t as bad but the charts told me that I had to land with a 6.5 degree glide slope. But here’s the vid]ew from the flight deck. Total time- 2:10
Runway 26R Lineup @ KLAS
Here are only 7 planes all lined up in order waiting to depart Vegas. Also I kinda make these guys jealous as I lift off runway 19L in the background. @Tsumia, do you spot yourself here? :)
Evening SWA Lineup @ KLAS
As the day comes to a close in Vegas, all the aircraft still operate in full swing. Seen here is something special: All 3 Southwest liveries at once! The Canyon Blue one is me arriving from Reno. Total time- 1:00
So that’s about it, more shots will come soon, I promise you! I hope everyone is staying safe and adhering to social distancing guidelines. While the aviation industry is crippled IRL, IF is thriving with activity.
Quick side note:
Should I post individual screenshots from select flights?
- Of course
- Hmm this format is better
