Hello Infinite Flight community! Tonight, I flew an American Airlines 737-800 from Midway to Reagan on the Expert Server. Enjoy the pics! I tweaked with the brightness of the photos to see them better. Other than that, they remain untouched.
Began loading up passengers along with cargo and fueling up for the trip across the night sky!
We began spooling up the engines while the flight attendants gave their safety briefings in the cabin.
We had to hold short of the runway for a few moments while we completed our last few checks.
And we left the earth behind! This may be a minority, but I’ve always enjoyed night flying because you feel absolutely isolated from the rest of the world while in the air.
Beautiful shot of Lake Michigan while on climb-out!
Crossed over into West Virginia while on initial descent into Reagan National Airport
Flew over Dulles on the approach path!
touch down, and back to reality
As we taxied to the gate, you can hear everyone turning their phones back on and getting reconnected to the global community.
And we are at the gate!
“A long flight across the night. You know why late flights are good? Because we cease to be earth-bound and burdened with practicality. Ask the impertinent question. Talk about the idea that no-one has thought about yet. Put it a different way.”
I hope everyone enjoyed this trip report, and have a good night!
