Alaska Flight 82 - LoveSpuds - 01-29-2013

An interesting flight tonight with a bit of chop midway through the cruise and a go around at KSEA.

Here we are leaving Anchorage at 9.30am

Things got a little choppy in the cruise with some heavy cloud and strong winds buffeting the 737

About to intercept the ILS you can see the cloud over the airport in the distance, this forced a go around due to poor visibility near minimums

On the second attempt the clouds move north and visibility improves

Hope you enjoyed the shots all, this was a really nice flight with a great climb out and a more interesting approach than I was expecting as the the Wx had deteriorated after seeing the METAR before I left Anchorage.
