John Lovell Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 This flight is from Grant Co international KMWH in CRM scenery to Ketchikan PAKT in Continental Airways 737-800. We were gonna be passing over some stunning scenery so I set cruise alt for 37'000ft. Enroute, we passed over some well known and loved locations in PNW.... Enjoy! No shots of the climb out from KMWH but this caught my eye for my twitchy V key index finger. Passing over Darrington, still climbing Over Darrington at 33'000ft Passing Concrete at 34'000ft Isreals Farm somewhere down there Reach cruise alt 37'000ft And some jaw dropping scenery as we pass over BC Some more amazing scenery and mountains From this height, can see the curvature of the Earth! For most of this trip, I have had a 90+knot head wind, so it has taken much longer than should Starting our decent 110 NM from destination, some thick cloud in the distance Coming down into some dense cloud 17'000 ft and making a few turns to put us on approach for ILS runway 11 Coming down through the dense clouds, can now make out some land I like to get my aircraft ready early for landing. Gear down and flaps fully extended Glide slop intercepted nicely, just above approach airspeed of 140knts All looking good Touch down, reverse thrusters and spoilers deployed Turning off the end of the runway and down the taxi way Parked at gate, aircraft all shut down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
