AMS-RAK-AGA-AMS Trip from 737 Cockpit

Post by shepherd »

Good evening all!
I made a very nice trip recently, I joined a friend who's a pilot at Transavia! We were bound for a triangle trip, from Amsterdam to Marrakech (Morrocco) then from Marrakech to Agadir, and from Agadir back to Schiphol.

The lucky aircraft was..... PH-XRZ!

I took a lot of photos, here a selection of them.

1. Starting number one.
Image

2. Awaiting taxi clearance for Runway 24.
Image

3. Line up and wait runway 24, behind the British Airbus. Transavia 5753.
Image

4. Cruising above France.
Image

5. Marrakech Airport (RAK)
Image

6. 30 degree bank angle to intercept the ILS for runway 10.
Image

7. Autopilot disconnected and on short final approach for Runway 10. :worship:
Image

8. The tail, while being fueled up at Marrakech.
Image

9. The main landing gear bay.
Image

10. Rear Cargo compartment.
Image

After this, departed Runway 28 from Marrakech, arrived at Agadir, and then cruised trough the night. on our way back home.

Arriving in Dutch airspace, we descended trough the clouds, stayed in the rainclouds for some time. We flew the RIVER3B, NIRSI and EH605 approach for Runway 18R.

11. Christmas tree. AKA De polderbaan AKA Runway 18R.
Image

It was a awesome experience. Truly amazing.

I hope you like the photos, and comments are always welcome! :)

Kind regards, Jeffrey.

Thanks all!

hehe, this 737 wasn't really that Shiny. The inside of the gear was a real nice bonus! All those wires..
I noticed that some paint was peeling off from the nose! :mrgreen:

Kind regards, Jeffrey.
