San Antonio to Vegas

Been a long while since I posted. Did a complete revamps of FSX.

San Antonio - 1 mile visibility for take off

Climb out into the soup

Traffic in sight

Time to spend money!

Hi!

Nice views from the flight deck! Fog in Texas by now?:pilot:

Thanks. Late Friday afternoon there was. Real weather uploaded!

Beautiful sights.

Going to have to fill the tanks and get departure clearance!

Great shots! In fact you really make me pretty jealous. RW, the only trips I've made from San Antonio to or near Vegas was in a chopper with no AC.

Yes, I know it's "Winter" now. But all my trips through there were either late Spring or during Summer, by chopper!:o:o

For sure, just about used up all of it.

I'm sure the chopper trip would offer a nice view. The thing with this trip is that FSX ATC routing dropped me 500 feet below the mountain tops vectoring me to the ILS. Got a lot of noise from them being "below my assigned altitude!" Kind of hard to talk back to a computer program!

Those first two pics remind me of a VFR flight I made with a lady friend (an instructor) from Corpus Christi to San Antonio some 20 years ago. I was flying when we hit the dust storm - well above my pay grade.

Next thing, the ILS at San Antonio was 'temporarily unserviceable, sorry guys'. The lady was cool as ice as she flew a flawless VOR approach to minimums. She was white as a ghost, nonetheless. Needless to say, the drinks were on me!

Now that would have been a bit of teeth grinding

:p:p I know exactly what you mean!! Every time I try an IFR approach to Innsbruck, ATC directs me into the side of a mountain! :o:o

If we are in the clouds it's over! I definitely need more approach plates

A very pretty groups of shots David. Nice dusk sky colors too. :cool: :cool: :)

Thanks Larry!

Cool captures, David. :) Makes me want to jump into the cockpit and fly somewhere.

Thank you sir. Very therapeutic for me!

Am impressed you knew my first name: sir. http://yoursmiles.org/tsmile/sun/t113004.gif "Therapeutic" is one of those key words for me as well when it comes to MSFS editions. Am even remembering chasing green lines on a mono 300 x 400 Apple IIe screen back in the early 80s and loving every minute of it.
