CRW_0445_JP.jpgOut of respect for the airline, I did not include certain information, but as clearly seen, pilots who taxi airplanes with a cargo loader clearly in the path of the airplane in the gate area will witness something like this- one of the A340's engines went right over the loader, crushed the top extension where the operator stands, and caused significant engine exterior damage as seen in photo. No injuries luckily. Ironically, look at the top left of the engine cowling: NO PEOPLE nearby- no equipment either!Jul 14, 2011

AIRBUS_A380_F-WWJB_INTERIOR_JFK_0307O_JP.jpg
AIRBUS_A380_F-WWJB_INTERIOR_JFK_0307O_JP.jpgHere is a view in the A380 that is fairly rare. Taken on board F-WWJB during its JFK stopover when it was touring major world airports, this photo depicts a couple of monitors which show cabin temperature controls, and the top monitor of course reflects the tail mounted camera, which is pretty neat when the airplane is taking off/landing for passengers to enjoy watching

I am sitting in the cockpit of this beautiful A330-200 as we are cruising over the Atlantic at 41,000 feet (as seen on the display in the middle of the screen). While it's not quite this dark in the cockpit, it is pretty dark on a non-moonlit sky such as this. An amazing experience indeed, I'll never forget it!May 16, 2011
