VH-KDK Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 A few images from a small flight I did to fill in 10 minutes before bed time. KSAN was the departure location and you can make your own mind up as to which City the MD83 ended up 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifejogger Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Very nice shots Martyn. The plane is from Alaska and you took off from San Diego and flew for 10 minutes. Maybe Tijuana? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillwater Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 After passing LA... and being an orbyfied ppilot I would guess you are heading for Monterey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper31 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I would say Orange County or thereabouts, maybe near John Wayne airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olderndirt Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Short story/comment. Back in the day Alaska Air flew 727's into Anchorage and were very handy with them - "Turn base inside Fire Island and you'll be #1" and they did. They could do anything for you - then they got the MD80. A different world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundancer Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Allright so far...., without the uncertainties where to land or not to land at all, shot #2 with the different cloud types is my favorite.....Super ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
