Life Of An Airline Pilot

[Slyoldawg]

I have been through every bit of experience this video portrays. All kinds of weather phenomenon: fog, extreme turbulence, lightening, heavy rain, hail, ice, snow, Saint Elmo's fire, lightening strikes, etc., etc. Danced with clouds, on top of, underneath skimming the bottoms with the top of the windscreen, through clouds. Through pitch darkness, blinding sun, northern lights dancing outside my window. Did all this in jet transports, with two-engines, three engines, four-engined planes. Even a worldwide stint in four-engined turbo-propeller transport. Did the right seat for thousands of hours, then the left seat for another many thousands of hours. And even the flight engineer station for many more thousands of hours - more than I dare count. Lord I miss those days of FREEDOM!

still fond of the old Boeing 707 and the 747-100 model AF-1 version watching the old aviation movies, flight decks have come along way in 45 years from the old gauges to the glass cockpits, even though the 747-100's still used as cargo planes, just watching the movies goes back to time of free access of terminals, until the hijackings got metal detectors installed.
