READ DESCRIPTION BEFORE COMMENTING:
My 2nd longest flight, an Alaska Airlines 737-800 flight from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport to John Wayne-Orange County Airport. I took off at 12:00 pm, and landed at 1:46. most of the flight was over Washington, Oregon, and California, but as you can see, i decided to move the flight eastward to the Southernmost part of Nevada, so i could line up my aircraft to the runway. Here are a few facts about John Wayne-Orange County Airport: The main runway, at about 6,000 feet, is only large enough to handle aircraft as large as the 767. The Smaller runway, at exactly 2,887 feet, is one of the smallest runways in the world! fortunately, i test-ran the runway with an alaska 737-800 and the runway is just large enough for a 737-800 to land & take off. In the late 1990s, a new airport was proposed for Orange County on the former site of the El Toro Marine Corps Air Station. After a long time, the proposal was defeated and no new airport was built, so John Wayne Airport is the main and only airport for Orange County. united Airlines is the main carrier for John Wayne Airport, while Alaska Airlines is the dominant Carrier for Sea-tac Airport.
In the real world, when you enter the terminal building at sea-tac airport, there is an announcement saying, "Welcome to Seatac!" Currently, Seatac Airport has 2 runways. a 8,500 foot long third runway is nearing completion and is slated to be open next month. Over the past few years, pilots have been mistaking Taxiway Tango for runway 16R. There have been some considerations on taking out taxiway Tango, but there is almost 100% no way they will remove Tango. Just Recently, Northwest Airlines has announced non-stop service from Seattle-Shanghai and Vice-Versa. V Australia, the new up and coming airline, has received permission to fly to seattle as well as many other U.S. Cities. Virgin Atlantic, as well as Emirates Airlines has been considering Seattle as a future destination.
The most famous hijacking at seatac airport was Northwest Airlines flight 2658. The plane was hijacked by Mr. D.B. Cooper, and he asked everyone for $200,000 and 4 parachutes in exchange for the pasenger's release. The Plane was landed in PDX, re-fueled up, took off, and continued to the destination. Meanwhile, however, Mr. D.B. Cooper Sky-Dived out of the plane in the air and was never found again. FBI inicates that Cooper couldn't have survived the sky-dive. The Song is called, "Tour de France" by everone's favorite electronic/computer band, Kraftwerk.
Thanks for watching the video!

Oh, that was because of my graphics card back then. My card was a bit small, so that's why my taxiways are black. doesn't affect gameplay, it's just a different color. but now the taxiways are normal.
