BillD22 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) In this MSFS2020 series an Air California Lockheed L188 Electra II makes a late afternoon approach into Lake Tahoe Airport (KTVL). KTVL was a popular Air California destination during the mid to late 70's. Because of its high field elevation (6280 ft. AMSL) and hazardous location down in a canyon surrounded by mountains the airport had banned jet passenger traffic. Ability to operate from high field elevations, lower operating speeds, excellent maneuverability and instant power response combined with high passenger capacity made the Electra a good substitute. Letting down over Lake Tahoe. The arrow shows the airport location among high mountains at the south end of the lake.
