CyprusAirwaysA330 0 Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 World Tour Legs 5 & 6 - Heading North Well, here are legs 5 and 6 of my world tour. Leg 5 - AA588 San Juan, Puerto Rico to Miami, Florida. Aircraft AB6. Flighplan, as always. Here we are at the gate, loading up our Airbus A300. Pushing back, our A300 looking very fat. Taxiing out just as the heavens open :yes: Accelerating, see the speed by how the rain is blurring past. Tucking the gear away, still under the rain. Out of the rain as retract the flaps and turn North. Cruising... Sun starting to go down. Darker now. Hitting the coast of Florida as we start the descent. The sunset creating beautiful looking clouds below us... Nearly there.... ...and down. Taxiing in past some fellow AA planes. Parked up, what a fun plane the A300 is to fly. Now for the 6th leg - AA1820 Miami, Florida to Dallas, Texas. Aircraft 738 Marcus should like this. Customary flightplan shot. Our rather unusual non-winglet fitted B738 at the gate. Pushing back, those CFMs starting up. Taxiing out, slightly off the centreline. Holding for another B738 to take off, a UPS B752 taking off on the paralllel runway. V1 Rotate Gear up Turning over Miami, following the SID. Look how the landing lights light up the engine cowls. Landing lights off now, we're past 10,000 feet. Banking over Mexico Bay. Over New Orleans, God Bless. In Texas now. Cruising at 36,000 feet. Starting our descent now. Landing lights on. Gear down. Lining up. Minimums. Touchdown, even the autopilot misses the centreline. Slowing. Approaching the gate, taxi lights off to avoid blinding the ramp rats. Parked up for the night. Thanks for viewing, comments welcome. Link to post Share on other sites
