Patchy Fog, Citation Bravo Landing at Charleston, WV: Yeager Airport

[@777DEHME]

that's where i learned to FLY. beautiful days spent in WV! CRW

[@ThatCodeBlue]

My local airport! I love that 6300 feet can take us anywhere!

[@graysono]

Just watched this. Its like landing on an aircraft carrier! Love the structure they've had to build for approach lighting!

[@captmoonbeam]

that's a good way to describe it.

[@williamblake1217]

I worked the ramp for five years. I called the place the U.S.S Yeager.

Nothing like flying home! Almost Heaven!

[@roberttompkins6489]

I flew in and out of there once for a job interview at WVU-the guy who checked me in for the flight was also the guy who refueled the airplane. There were only 6 people on our flight in a small commercial but yet the steward used the microphone for safety instruction when in actuality we were less than 6 ft from her. She told us to space out. It was a cloudy foggy day. I was a nervous wreck.

[@kevinstone9638]

You should see the C-5 or the C-17's taking off and landing there. That is my local airport and love that place. Learning to fly there now.

[@Sherman62]

First time I heard and saw a C-5 coming in over South Hills, hanging in the air and screaming... well I haven't been the same since.

[@billybob8407]

That landing was smooooothe.

[@captmoonbeam]

thanks Billy

[@UnboxWonderland]

Great video of my home state airport. Too bad the ending cut short. The feeling of falling off the other side is hilarious for newcomers!

[@captmoonbeam]

I've only been there once but,, it was a very cool airport to fly into.

[@BossaNossa1]

What an incredible, beautiful airport/runway!... A few C130's watching your arrival...:)

[@safarieten]

Yes Capt, I was number 100 to like, but your videos are always entertaining and helpful. I don't fly for real anymore, but i'm a flt sim enthusiast, and use your vids for visual reference. I flew into Sedona yesterday and compared it to your real life scenario. The sim (P3Dv3) was very realistic......... Keep em coming Capt....... Good Job.

[@captmoonbeam]

+John Paul Brotherton Thanks John. That's interesting the comparison. It's incredible how far home flight sims have come.

[@ElbertPoling]

Are you ready for Flight Sim 2020? What set up do you have now? I, too, haven't flown for several years and I want to get into simming. What is the latest / greatest sim to get while I wait on FS2020?

[@bigd-1-channel514]

Really cool airport dig videos in this kind of weather.

[@captmoonbeam]

thanks. I think the weather makes them a lot more interesting.

[@timin770]

back in the 70's we used to take our 4-wheel trucks on trails that would put you on the hillside facing the runway so that aircraft on approach would suddenly appear just over our heads at what seemed like treetop level and then we'd watch 'em land. Of course we always had a couple cases of beer and other supplies. REALLY fun with a fall of snow on the ground. Im sure you couldnt get away with that these days

[@doenjangstew4438]

so beautiful small mountains scenary. it does not look like the US.

[@clapsyonfire2890]

Charleston wv is a pretty place man definetly worth the trip

[@schnauzermom2922]

It’s Almost Heaven. ❤️

[@ultrakool]

I always wondered what an approach would look like heading toward that man made mesa. cool beans, cornbread

[@mikedineen7857]

They moved more dirt to build that airport than they did to build the Panama Canal. That’s a fact.

[@usernogo]

Impressive Video! Many thanks and greetings from Germany! Manfred

[@captmoonbeam]

Indigo Filme Thanks Manfred.

[@marindelgado7737]

Very nice el capitan

[@kentvandevender9731]

I did my initial few flight hours out of Charleston

[@FunChannel65]

nice video

[@HarryPotter-gw6ee]

Landed a little long on this one Captain! Not a good place to land long here CRW!

[@Shellyz2u]

I've landed there a couple of times and taken off. Has always been a lil turbulent but nothing Compares to landing in Portland Oregon

[@ElbertPoling]

Post a vid? I landed at Santa Catalina Island once. That was quite the adventure. The runway is a trick on the eyes and more than one high performance aircraft pilot has found themselves going over the end of the runway/mountain.

[@mikedineen7857]

There is a pucker factor when you land at Yeager airport for the first time.

[@notar187]

Great video ,I listen to live atc quite often ,but never hear hold instruction for a holding pattern ,where would I most likely here that ? Thanx

[@captmoonbeam]

stewart baker Thanks Stewart. Wish I had an answer for you. I get a hold maybe once every two years. So the chances of having my camera on when that happens are very slim.

[@notar187]

Oh ok so it's a rare occasion ,might be the answer ,thanx I plan on getting ifr this winter

[@ElbertPoling]

@@notar187 Did you get your IFR?

[@clapsyonfire2890]

Ayy you flew over my house teehee

[@lbowsk]

Now drive down the hill and go to Joeys. Have a burger and a bucket.

[@StortWeldingCoLLC]

[@UnboxWonderland]

[@wvpatriot1301]
