Jack Sawyer Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I departed Ketchikan, PAKT at around dusk and headed for Juneau, it was a cool flight. Coming around to the cool offset approach, I love this approach with the lights on the small islands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodger Pettichord Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Jack, really interesting twilight flight. Could feel the light fading and the desire to get down before it disappeared. Not anxious, just more convenient. Great set. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to love flying the sim at night but it doesn't make for good screenshots. I remember a while back in FSX when I was flying and learning the Flight1 Mustang, I flew into somewhere in the mid west at night in a blizzard on an established approach and landed perfectly in zero visibility. Man was I pleased with that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Lars Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Terrific bunch of excellent Juneau shots. The LDA approach to Juneau is tricky as you have to have at least some of the lead in lights in sight at the MDA. Wonderful shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olderndirt Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Great LOD in #7 and in your last, about halfway up to the tower cab is a similar windowed section. That was the tower cab back in '69 when I worked there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
