Prepped and ready for a night time departure from CYLW, the PMDG MD-11 looks ace with it's cockpit's neon glow......
Taxiing G-BPMD to runway 16; nice view of the wing strobe lights.
Kelowna tower, looking onto -BPMD as she taxies onto runway 16 for a quick departure.
Climbing out into the haze.
Nice wing view, after a 90 degree right hand turn to intercept our course, you can see the airfield and the runway we've just departed from..
Just before reaching cruise altitude of FL340; all set in the cockpit.
Nearing the end of our descent we're going to do an ILS 11 landing into the wind, which means passing by the airfield on our starboard side before turning towards the beacon that will set us up on our glideslope intercept course.
Setup ready to land; looking out over the expanse of water and trees that is typical Alaska....
On the glideslope, full autoland engaged, so a nice easy sit back for a change :)
View from Yakutat's tower as G-BPMD begins the flare
...... and finaly, powered down at the gate after another flight.
