Thanks Steve for another great installment. I remember N213FR very well, here I post a pic 10 days before delivery in October 2023, sadly I missed you guys as the day I was at TPA with my ops friend Brian, the flight was scrubbed. My smile continues none the less. Cheers Steve!

This past Thursday, my Son and Daughter In-Law caught this shot of Mt. Rainier at 20,000 ft 28 minutes before landing at SEA, on their way to Anchorage, Alaska. I have always marveled at the beauty of our national treasures. I wish I was here. Enjoy

As a layman, this has to be one of the prettiest approaches into LTX/Latacunga I've seen on flight trackers. @stevenomadic.bsky.social not in tune to who was flying this bird, B737-8LD(WL) N209TS msn 40971, but great job. I recall in late October I also remarked about the "teardrop" approach you did
