Hello Community!
Anchorage! It was on the bucket list for a long time, but it finally happened over the summer. It’s considered by many to be one of the greatest airports out there for spotting due to long sunlight hours (11 PM sunset!) in the summer and incredible scenery.
Runway 33 is the ideal configuration because the orientation of the sun and location of the primary spot, but I was in town for three days and all three days had exclusively 15 operations because of course they did.
It just feels right to edit Anchorage photos a little more artistically than normal, because that’s the whole vibe the place gives off.
Also, thank you to @Altaria55 who believed in my spotting abilities with 15 operations when no one else did.
Starting off, a UPS 747 taking off into the distance.
A Korean 777 landing with some nice clouds.
Everts MD-83 being extremely loud.
Christmas tree American A321 NEO.
United 737 MAX 9 matching the scenery vibe.
Anchorage Coastal Trail and a plane. Definitely worth a ride if you happen to be there.
Short plane, long shutter.
