Frankfurt (part three)

Doug Taylor · September 6th, 2007, 14:45

Well, "two" is missing because they're on Kristie's computer, but here goes:

Dinner from CVG:

The lambchops on the September menu are ta-hay-stee:

Sunrise over "middle of nowhere" Atlantic:

Pointy end of the seven-six:

Brekkie!

The "Isle of Man" ("I O awf MAIN" as the Scoh'ish call it) is out there somewhere:

MTSUAv8r's kinda someone big over there:

Who?!

Frankfurt

Southernjets 4,000 above on the NAT Tracks:

The interesting thing about following another aircraft so closely is that you could tell the difference in winds between 350 and 390. The aircraft went from the right of us, to the left of us, to ahead of us to almost behind us a few times across the tracks.

All of the tracks (except for a few exceptions) run parallel.

It was fairly turbulent for a period of time and generally when we'd slowly gain on the traffic and he'd start shifting in the windscreen was a good precursor for the onslaught of turbulence (shearing winds or whatever).

Nice pictures! Thanks once again!

Doug Taylor · September 6th, 2007, 14:52

I guess you guys now have a good indication of why it's a challenge keeping the svelte figure while flying international!

Whoa, love the "look" of those meals; hope they tasted as good as they looked.

When are you travelling to Moscow? Wife is due to fly over there soon. Perhaps you'll get to say hello.

Doug Taylor · September 6th, 2007, 23:03

Third week of the month, who is she flying on?

Maximillian_Jenius · September 6th, 2007, 23:35

Cool pics. I didn't know the 764 was used over the Atlantic in the southernjets system.

Thought it was mainly for LAX-JFK/JFK-LAX, JFK-CVG-HNL, LAX-HNL, and ATL-MCO and back!

Oh, and did you talk to your fellow pilot brothers on the international channel?

Doug Taylor · September 6th, 2007, 23:37

Nope! I'm not a 123.45 chatterbox. Silence is golden.
