Well, that's one way to add winglets to an older 737.

Actually, I revise my previous analysis slightly. Not a circle-to-land, but a long "final" down a side valley, with a 60° turn for alignment 1/2 mile off the end of the runway.

Kinda like the LDA approach into KDCA 19 - except with low sun, fog, mountains - and no radio guidance.
