I love that pilot in the big glasses - if he was any more laid back he'd fall over

Just another day in the office to him

You know what I think about trips like that and trips you've already experienced... this one couldn't hold a candle to a trip in 474 IMHO ... I've done 55,000 feet in Concorde - and yes the colours are nice and yes everything looks very small and yes the earth's curvature is fun .....but there's no 'excitement' ....like ... vibration... oily smells.... noise....and feeling that you are PART of the experience and not just in a small office that just happens to be high up.... just my take on it

[Mayfly]

point taken..............but still...

'Another Day in the Office'................ Bit like DT and the Lads, driving 558.

Shit, someone's got to do it...............
(Lucky buggers).

Like someone said about rear crew....... In service they had to drag them kicking and screaming into a Vulcan.
Once there was only the Display Flight.......... You couldn't keep 'em out........ They were fighting amongst themselves to get a seat.
