Yup, I sure can.
It was a beautiful morning coming in from Dothan. As we set up on the arrival we were vectored for the north approach on runway 26R. On the downwind leg (parallel to the runway but going the opposite direction of landing traffic) the approach end looked great, runway visual ranges were greater than what we needed for the approach so it looked like all was going to end well and we would make it into the gate on time.
Finally on the last portion of the approach (final approach), we switched over to tower and they told us the bad news. The runway visual range for the touchdown zone had decreased below what was required for us to legally shoot the approach.
A missed approach, turn to the northwest, and reconfiguring for the approach to the southern most runway finally yielded us the result we needed.
Was a beautiful morning to be out though. Got off just moments after sunrise.
Last night's approach into Dothan was enjoyable as well. I'm finally starting to feel a good sense of enjoyment out of the work - it's just unfortunate that it may not last for a while considering the sad state of the industry. So be it.
