Shalom and greetings all my pals,

 

Presenting recreation of real life Braniff flight of DC-8-62's arrival at KCOS City of Colorado Springs Municipal Airport located 6 miles southeast of Colorado Springs, Colorado that is the second busiest commercial service airport in the state

 

Seconds before touchdown on runway 35R after two circles waiting for turn to land due to heavy commuter traffic between KCOS and KDEN

Exciting tire smoke still kept spewing while front landing gear was gliding down slowly in most graceful manner (notice clouds on ground level in background

Nicely done! What weather generator are you using? I may have missed it in the narrative.

David,

 

Thanks for kind words. I am using FSX default weather settings set at FSX default fair weather setting.

Interesting that it would set up clouds like that. Pretty cool!
