Its aprox 15:50 and the passengers are just begining to board.  Only 122 today.  In the cocpit all last minute checks are being ran and we are almost ready for departure.  Weather report is clear skys with a few clouds and a light breeze.  Seems everything is looking good.  Finaly, its 16:00, the doors are shut, and we are ready for pushback.  Soon the engines roar to life and we begin to taxi out to the runway.

Thundering down the runway we slowly lift into the air.

Making our final sharp turn for the next 7500 miles.  Soon supper will be served and I will be off to the lower deck to my resting area.  
Image
Just off the Alaskan coast.  Still a few hours left in the flight.  
Image
Right on the border of British Columbia and Washington.  
Image
Coming in later then expected do to a mild route change, tower clears us for landing.  We are coming in fairly strait and right on the glide slope.  What a way to end the flight.
Image
Slowing down.  Came in right down the center and a very smooth touchdown.  
Image
Parked and ready about to unload.  Its been a very long flight (17.1 hours) and everyone is more then happy to get off.  Soon I plan to make my way towards Newark where I will eather fly back towards Europe or take the true longest flight in the world back to Singapore.

Thanks :)

Running out of ideas for story lines though.  Most of my flights are uneventfull other then the ocasional bad weather or crazy AI :P

As for the guy in the adjacent plane...Got into an argument over why he kept popping up where ever I was.  Had some contacts in Singapore and he is being "taken care of" ::) lol
