Jack Sawyer Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 This was a nice flight from Palm Springs to Seattle that I made yesterday with real-time weather. Had to do a go-around on landing but otherwise it was very cool. There's a lot, sorry. The office is much higher than a Bonanza, that's for sure. With a 10K' runway, KPSP is certainly capable. Can't wait to see this in XP. Swinging around for ILS RWY 16R The Queen is still a beautiful sight! Go around. I really like this shot, it surprised me.

One was a flight that wasn't continent spanning, another with runways long enough, and third, test out Seattle. All was perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we’ve seen the last of legendary and iconic design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
