Anchorage Action - part 1

[Harold]

- an in between series of my Pacific Coast Tour -

scenery in these screenshots are courtesy of Georender Alaska Cinematic Volume 1.
Anchorage International Airport scenery is made by William Morgan. You can get it here.



As you may remember I had some engine trouble while flying into the Cook Inlet and landed on only one engine at Anchorage International.
I'm still considering my options (engine repairs are expensive let alone a new or a trade-in) so I thought I'd go out and watch some of the
action at the airport. It is - after all - a large international airport with some very heavy cargo activity ...

Here's a tailshot from an Air Canada 767 parked at the South Terminal looking towards the North Terminal.








On the FedEx Ramp on the north side of the airport you can see a lot of action. Here you can see the iDFG MD-11 in the famous Panda livery.
She's a gorgeous bird which I've flown before from Glasgow. Check out my 'Panda at Glasgow' parts 1 and 2.








Here's the PMDG 747-400F in a very nice Atlas Air Cargo livery.








The Captain Sim Lockheed C-130 in a relatively unknown but very good Lynden Air Cargo livery.








Here's a very rare but really nice sighting: a factory fresh, bare metal, Project Opensky Boeing 737-700.
Only parts of the tail, winglets and engines are painted in Alaska Airlines colors. To get this livery you'll need the add-on kit.




Thanks for looking, hope you like and please share your feedback.

Very nice Harold, HOWEVER.

Cutting off parts of the plane? Tut tut, you should know better  :P

But in all honesty it takes nothing away from those shots  ;)

Great angles, however I think #3 and #5 would look better with just a wee bit of addon scenery  8-)

However, as I said, great shots!

Fantasic shots Harold - as per usual.

Excellent shots again Harold, I have a soft spot for the heavy metal (in music and aviation terms!)  Good quality aircraft shown there, and I have to compliment the set up of your sim, you should be very proud of it.
Looking good!
Cheers,
Mark

Two thumbs up from me 8-)

Keep up the good work!

[Harold]

Thank you all for your nice comments guys! I really appreciate them and it's a motivator to keep going!

Cutting off parts of the plane? Tut tut, you should know better

Ah yes, I'm an advocate of never cutting anything of a plane ... but, I reconsidered! Take a look at part two of the series

doing a bit of plane spotting are we,whilst the beech is in dock?

Still undecided Dave ... still undecided.

Love the c-130 shot!

Yes, she is nice isn't she? Like I said, a very unfamiliar repaint but very well done. It makes the Hercules look really different ...

I have to compliment the set up of your sim, you should be very proud of it.

Thanks Mark and yes I am proud ... a lot of time, effort and some money went into getting my sim as it looks today!

Are you running Alaska Cinematic?

Yes I am. Excellent package but you already know that
