Day Three Photos (3 of 6 day CDG)

Doug Taylor · July 2nd, 2007, 16:06

Some might need rotating, but I'll get it a little later.

Still hot and steaming fresh from my digital camera's memory card:

Crazy safety vest you MUST wear in Europe during walkarounds

Air France A-340

Business end of a PW4060

Right before pushback

The rain in Spain falls mainly on the.... wait, this is France

Climbing out:

Gotta jot down the ETA's on the flight plan

View from the rest seat (first break!)

Meal

Going pretty far north, almost over Greenland

Break list. I called the other FO "Marie-Antoinnette" but when I came back from break, he "modified" his name. I was Francois (look at the bad math problem too)

Ho? Who you calling a Ho?

I don't get it, but here's the microphone.

Hello North America!

The captain's showing me how he rolls in Moscow.

Arrival into CVG:

Great pictures, Doug. Thanks for the insight into your job.

Oh, and nice vest.

dvtpilot · July 2nd, 2007, 18:24

That food is better than anything I've eaten in the past 2 months!

fsiflyer · July 2nd, 2007, 19:39

1870 Rubles. About $50 American. Yup he is a huge roller in Moscow. Especially since it is one of the most expensive citites in the world. Next time I go to Moscow to visit the family you guys will have to come along with me. I can show you a proper time there. One that will last as memories forever!!!

Ok so what's the deal with the crew break list? Why do you guys always have fake names?

Chewie von Nubbins · July 2nd, 2007, 20:00

Be very careful with that thing.

I'm not sure if it's tradition or not, but I picked it up from Staplegun. Some guys do it, some guys don't. Just one of those crew camaraderie things.

To/From Germany it was "Helmut, Karl-Heinz and Doodlederfer".

amorris311 · July 2nd, 2007, 21:41

very cool photos once again. please keep them coming.

sdfcvoh · July 2nd, 2007, 21:49

Hey -was that my car in one of those? Thanks Doug!

ChadW346 · July 2nd, 2007, 22:06

Doug, this is seriously my favorite sub-forum here (YES, more than even the UND forum

).... Keep 'em coming

I just like to "lighten-things-up" a little bit. You can tell a lot about the other guys by how they respond to a little gentle ribbing...

Everyone has their own secret "no-fly" list, right now the only person on mine is another first-officer...

NO, it's not Doug!!!

So true in any work situation. How can someone not want to lighten things up at work? If I didn't have fun at work, I wouldn't go to that place to work. And if you're Irish, well... witty fun is a neccessity.

Kevin, I'm looking forward to those photos from your Athens trip.

I was going to say, "Hey man! I actually know what I'm doing now! I'm low maintenance! I bring tasty snacks and a library of review material!"

bwade210 · July 3rd, 2007, 12:52

Great pictures as always...thank you for sharing Doug!

ILSstud · July 4th, 2007, 10:45

So Doug, be honest...you are the guy who when we are boarding is like "ahhh....good afternoon ladies and gentleman ahhhhhh....from the flight deck ahhh.....we are just making ahh our final preparations....." ;-)

SmoothLanderJ · July 4th, 2007, 11:25

Awesome, awesome pics, Doug!!

Pilotdude3407 · July 6th, 2007, 02:24

That must be the same captain that was flying on Staplegun's flight to Moscow....I recognize the ball cap. By the way, what is up with the hats. I have seen several guys wear ball caps in the cockpit. I like hats, but not enough to break it out as soon as the cockpit door shuts...give us some insight.
