Finally: leaving the US to head home


Stillwater

Recommended Posts

Completing the replication of my November travels I start from the hotel at Seattle Northgate...

... and make an intermediate stop at Kerry Park lookout.

One can see Mt Rainier to the right of the CBD, it just doesn´t show up in the picture well enough.

A little close-up of the Needle...

... before checking in and heading for a drink in the United lounge at KSEA.

The virtual view of the tarmac from here...

... and the real one. With a yellow plane for @Jack Sawyer and - finally - the impressive Mt Rainier for all of us.

The subsequent flight was a night flight, and I did not have a window seat. So you have to imagine the views of Cascades and Rockies, as well as the arrival in Europe. See you there!

Great shots indeed Gerold. I hope you've enjoyed the PNW. 

Oh I did that, Karl. Unfortunately this was business travel, so I was not free to spend more time or to meet with some guys aho live near my route :(...

Nice set Gerold, I like the last shot from real life with the yellow plane. 

Seems to be an Airbus operated by Alaska Airlines in the background, never saw that before.  

Thanks for watching, Andy. I will check the original picture if I can read the registration number on the Alaska plane - it is N639VA.

Enjoyed these Adam.  KSEA is my favorite airport IRL, been there 3-4 times/year over the last 20 yrs.  Always spend a week there at a time to explore the surrounding area too.

Thanks Rob! It was only few days for me, but I felt really familiar after so many flights in Orbxland.
