Recommended Posts

Here are some XP11 twilight shots of a World Traffic 3 AI Southwest 737 on the RNAV Runway 10L approach into San Francisco (KSFO).

Sorry guys but I couldn't resist (with apologies to Tony Bennett) ;)

 

The loveliness of Paris seems somehow sadly gray

The glory that was Rome is of another day

I've been terribly alone and forgotten in LaGuardia

I'm going home to my city by the Bay

 

I left my plane in KSFO

Next to a gate, it calls to me

To be where SIDS sent on ACARS, climb halfway to the stars

The morning fog may be below minimums there. I don't care

 

My plane waits there in KSFO

Beside the blue and windy sea

When I come home to you, KSFO

I’ll contact NORCAL ATC
