Taxiing Through Clouds (No Kidding)

[Aharon]

Shalom and greetings all my pals,

Presenting recreation of real life Braniff flight of DC-8-62's arrival at KCOS City of Colorado Springs Municipal Airport located 6 miles southeast of Colorado Springs, Colorado that is the second busiest commercial service airport in the state

Seconds before touchdown on runway 35R after two circles waiting for turn to land due to heavy commuter traffic between KCOS and KDEN



TOUCHDOWN



Exciting tire smoke still kept spewing while front landing gear was gliding down slowly in most graceful manner (notice clouds on ground level in background



Front landing gear finally making runway contact



Braking down with marvelous view of mountains of May Peak and Kineo Mountain



Exiting from runway 35R into taxiway



Entering into clouds at ground level during taxi to gate



Taxiing through middle of cloud on ground level to gate



Emerging out of clouds



Still on long taxi with background of clouds



Approaching gate with background of same mountains



Thank you for viewing. Stay tuned for next exciting flight!!

Regards,

Aharon

Interesting post, great shots. I guess that airport is at some altitude, so maybe clouds at an apparent ground level may be normal . I used to sim fly out of and around Edwards and found similar stuff.
