engine70 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I think I mentioned this before, but I took a break from flying recently and just within the last few weeks started getting back into it. Up until now my flights were all GA flights, so it's been a bit since I've flown an airliner. I decided to shake off the rust today and fly from Fort Lauderdale to Raleigh-Durham as Spirit Wings 495. Looking at the real world radar prior to departure, and seeing that the real world counterpart for this flight took off with no issues not long before I did, I figured weather wouldn't be much of a factor with the hurricane being off the coast. But Florida did what Florida does, and provided us with a bumpy, stormy departure. Also, my rust caught up to me on landing, so there are no landing shots. Holding short of runway 28R waiting for a Delta a320 from JFK to land Passenger view as we turn on course over Fort Lauderdale shortly after takeoff There's those storms we weren't really expecting... Fighting our way through as we climb up to FL360 We finally broke through around FL300, but as you can see from this picture taken at our cruising altitude of FL360, we still had to deal with tops several thousand feet higher than we were The flight deck of the a320 Descending into Raleigh on the MALNR 4 arrival Getting a good view of RDU as we continue on the arrival. We're landing from the other side tonight Preparing to join the ILS approach to 23R Welcome to Raleigh Thanks for viewing!

NMLW Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Now that's the Spirit! Some sweet shots of your flight on Spirit Airlines and nicely narrated too Chris. :cool: :cool: I had a T-shirt the color of that livery but it got lost in the laundry. The wife said she didn't remember seeing it. :D Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
