I finally got the time to fly my favourite addition to IF’s fleet in 23.2, Swoop! The reason i love it so much as it’s a common appearance at my 2nd home airport, Abbotsford intl. so thats where im flying today! I hopped into the 737 and headed my way west to the lower mainland.

-
pushing at Hamilton airport, i never got the chance to fly out of CYHM yet, so im very suprised how high quality it is!
-
Taxiing to runway 30, it was technically closed, but no one was arriving and i already made the flight plan
-
departing Hamilton!
-
moving quite a bit further, here is some nice scenery i found over Lake Michigan!
-
moving even further down the continent, some very flat scenery over Saskatchewan.
-
not a Canadian airport without a Rockies picture…
-
while descending into YYX, i flew over the town of hope, it may not seem like it but it has some interesting history! Some long time ago, at hope aerodrome, transport canada tested landing a 737-200 there to see if it could be used as an emergency airstrip. My main worry is how they flew it out of there…
-
YYX’s landing runway switched on me at the last second to Runway 25, which requires a funny turn around a few small mountains till final
-
finally touching down in Abbotsford, with a pretty average landing around -140fpm
