Fly over the Discovery Ridge (G’Morning, world. Part II)

(Continued from HERE)

Speaking of the plane flying over our neighborhood the other morning, specifically - the WestJet Boeing-737-700, registered as C-GWBN (designated in the company’s inventory as ‘Tail # 235′) I found out later that it was doing Flight 732, from Kelowna, BC to Calgary

Apparently, guys were on the track of HANDA FOUR arrival to RW 34 in Calgary (CYYC), and at the moment I spotted them they were in a right turn over MOGOT, - such would be a funny name for the computer-generated WAYPOINT, - which is in fact just an ‘abstract crisscross’ of specified latitude and longitude on the geo gridlock.

So, there’s NO any really existing ground-based features associated, such as beacons, big granite milestones, or whatever, placed by MOGOT. This thing virtually lives in the FMS (Flight Management System) database only.

But by curious coincidence this MOGOT, if it is pinpointed to the REAL tiny spot on the Earth’s surface, lays just nearby our place.. You know what? - should think about putting on some conspicuous feature to mark the spot :)

And of course, once in a while I also fly over MOGOT by myself on our way HOME, SWEET HOME..

On the fly-over occasions, not always though, but sometimes I would get a really good chance to make a couple of clear shots of our place.

On that morning, if I had flown the C-GWBN, it would have been just perfect.
