Very Early Morning Business Commuter Alaska Flight

Aharon · Posted: Tue May 08, 2012 5:27 pm

Shalom and greetings all my pals!!

Here is nice Boeing 717-200 doing a very early morning business commuter Alaskan flight from KABE Bethel Airport three nautical miles southwest of the central business district of city of Bethel, Alaska to PANC Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport 4 nautical miles southwest of downtown Anchorage.

Waiting for pilots to arrive to board to do cold start at 7 am with gorgeous background view of sunrise

Fully boarded plane being pushed out of the gate

Starting engines while watching sunrise

Taxiing on taxiway C to short of runway 18 where passengers on right side of the plane are lucky to have complete view of sunrise

Holding position short of runway 18 with background view of snowy Alaskan landscape

Still holding short of runway 18 with background view of city of Bethel

Marveling at view of sunrise while yes still holding position short of rwy 18 because Alaskan sky was very busy full of planes being directed by hard working Alaskan controllers

Busy Alaskan airspace full of planes heading to PANC

Finally receiving take off clearance and entering into runway 18 for take off

On climb to FL330 making left turn toward VIDDA with background view of Kuskokwim River or Kusko River which is the ninth largest river in the United States

Still on climb to FL330 heading to VIDDA in front of sunrise

Intercepting VIDDA and heading to SQA still in middle of climb

Cruising at FL330 to SQA with gorgeous Alaskan landscape

Intercepting SQA and heading to AKGAS

When you see famed majestic 20,036 foot high Mount McKinley, it means it is time to start descent to 3,000 ft from FL330 to start executing AMOTT6 arrival via AYOGU, NEARR, and AMOTT while intercepting AKGAS

Gorgeous landscape view at FL150 on way to 3000 ft heading to intercet NEARR

wow you can see passengers in the passenger windows

Flying through clouds is pure fun while this plane is intercepting NEARR and turning left to head to AMOTT on way to PANC runway 07R

Intercepting AMOTT at 3,000 ft above Cook Inlet on way to runway 07R

Oh no snowstorm had started while making final runway approach to 07R

Moments before touchdown

Touchdown!!!

Engaging reverse thrusters on icy and slippery runway!!!

Slowing down

Exiting from runway 07R into taxiway G to taxi to gates

Arriving at gate to drop off passengers

Thank you for viewing and please stay tuned for next exciting flight!!!

Regards,

Aharon

After admiring my screenshots few times, I just noticed something wrong,

Take close look at the screenshots of plane during PANC landing and you will see something weird and bizarre happening!!

Anybody is more than welcome to try to spot bizarre occurrence!!!

Hi Aharon,

You exited as you said by runway 07R but it seems that I see a 24R-6L runway Panel.
I am not sure it is the correct answer.

No it is not the case of outdated FSX default scenery for PANC.

Keep looking. Clue is on the plane in one of PANC screenshots.

Rob,

Keep looking.

eh it is only seven screenshots on PANC and you can look for something unusual on that 717 plane.

Surprised me to see that bizarre thing happened in one of seven PANC screenshots. It is most bizarre I ever seen. It is like magic.

The thrust reversers are out on the one shot, but that would be normal.

Good morning,

When you look at the aircraft, the nose on the left and the tail on the right, there is a face of a character painted on the tail.
Sometimes the face has no line across it and sometimes there is a line acroos the face like by magic??
But it is not only about landind screenshots but from the beginning of the screenshots.
I am not sure again it is the correct answer.

Best Regards

Only thing I noticed was the nosewheel looks like it has a piece of the trolley jack still attached to it

(line bar across the wheels). Otherwise I have no clue!
