Airline Pilot - Let's flip the coin

(Author unknown) I think of flying as rather like being in a long-term relationship.

Sunrise over a sea of Fog

We are coming down at 280 knots indicated airspeed. Ahead, less than 100 miles, is our destination still fast asleep, laying between two mountains picking at 4000 feet and partially covered in snow. The ride across Europe was smooth and beautiful. We flew into the night since we...

Thunderstorms and CB's (photos)

September came in with its lot of CB's, thunderstorms, heavy rainfalls and high winds.Some rather relaxed days at work can turn and did turn into uncomfortable situations. It brought a weather diversion, two crosswind landings in 40 knot gusts (one which I did as PF with a Line Training...

Faith in a Dream

We're stable at 41000ft, it's deeply dark out there apart from a brighter spot on the horizon in our 9 o'clock. The dimmed flightdeck lets us enjoy an amazing canopy of stars. As I lean forward, I relish the reddish horizon just above the Captain's shoulders.The view is about to...
