A nice trip in Micronesia

So after spending an hour and a half (thank you Annie, my dear, for your understanding) to find a "perfect flight" regarding to time, location and aircraft I finally found a good one.

This took me in a Boeing 737-800 with Continental Airlines (Continental Micronesia) from Guam Intl. (PGUM) to the very small Chuuck Intl. (PTKK) in the exotic Micronesia.



Pushing back from the gate at Guam.


The weather was wonderful and the flight lasted just less than two hours.
I love to explore new areas in the Flight Sim, and the more exotic the more interesting.
I usually fly the high standard models from PMDG (like the 737´s or the 747) and it´s just great.















Climbing out of Guam.


I happen to know a Captain on Britannia Airways Sweden (TUI) and have had the pleasure of joining him in the jumpseat (the "extra-seat" on the flight deck) a couple of times. I will dolve into these adventures on a later occasion. Anyway, he has type-rating for the 737-800 among other aircrafts, and says that the PMDG versions are great. (NO, I´m not being payed by PMDG, trust me)
















Enroute for Chuuck!


Well, anyway, the flight was smooth and the approach was a Visual one. (There are two ways of flying; VFR: Visual Flight Rules and IFR: Instrument Flight Rules. Basically, in VFR you´re only allowed to fly if the weather allows it. In IFR you can fly in much "worse" conditions. And most of the commercial flights are IFR. But sometimes small airports don´t support all the technical stuff required to land by the instruments. And thus you fly a Visual approach.)



Touchdown at Chuuck. Nice landning, every-
body happy!
