ThrottleUp Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Hallo nice Orbx people So I did a hop from SNA-SEA in a Boeing 737NG and took some shots, hope you like em... Welcome on board our Alaska Airlines flight from Santa Ana to Seattle. The pax have boarded and we are ready to push Trundling along to the active while the pax endure the bleating of the safety demo videos. Climbing fast and turning onto course. Bit bumpy around here, we'll keep the signs on! And here we are at cruise sipping coffee and munching on sandwiches! Well I am while my FO watches the airplane. The winglets reduce the strength of the wingtip vortices. They also make the wing more efficient as less lift is lost to the vortices because instead of forming at the tip of the wing they now form at the tip of the *winglet*. Happy wings! A very clever invention All too soon it was time to come down and after a smooth descent here we are establishing on the ILS into SEA...Boeing Country Yes yes little 737NG this is where you were born. Landing checklist complete, we trundle on down the glideslope with ATC chattering away in our ears... Its been a really nice day and Im lookin forward to grabbin a burger once this things on the ground! Lets drop the dunlops and the barn doors.... Almost down now, a quick scan to make sure we're all good...starting with that gear handle...is it do....yes it is! Capt. ThrottleUp always makes sure... The wheels take the strain as we rumble onto solid ground, we have arrived! Right lets slow this crate down... Engines off, park brake set. Cabin crew disarm all doors. Passengers....dismount Hope you enjoyed the ride to Seattle. Till next time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
