SVO is the identifier for Moscow Sheremetyevo Airport.

Sorry need to pay attention more. ICAO is UUEE.

Dang, I was hoping I could find a funny quote from Mr. (Smith) Goes to Washington to insert "here", but to no avail..... Just read this in your best Jimmy Stewart voice.

Great pics, though! Thanks for posting

I swear you must be a photographer at heart Kevin.. those are incredible pictures!!

oh.. and doug always closes his eyes when he has Maxim in hand, that way i don't see him reading it (but i know better and really don't care)

He told me it was "ok"...usually when he does that, he means he likes it but this time, he rambled on and on about how "ok" it was...i dunno how to take that now, knowing what i know about those "hated it" conversations! hahahaha

Not what you told me. You said that you wanted to stand on a ladder just off of Bourbon St. and act just like that FEMA guy that we snapped the pic of. I am starting to wonder about you Oliver.

The Moscow flying stays in the JFK crew base due to visa issues; they don't want to have to get Russian visa's for the 800 767ER pilots based in Atlanta!

So, it's a 6 day trip for us:

Day 1: JFK-SVO, 24 hour layover.

Day 3: SVO-ATL, 21 hour layover.

Day 4: ATL-SVO, 24 hour layover.

Day 6: SVO-JFK, done!

Nah, I have a great time and I really enjoy the work!

Seriously. Moving to the ER was a career saver because I deal a lot less with the things that were making the job harder to bear.

It's a whole different world!
