Another memorable for me was in August 2000. From JNB to a tiny regional stop called Plettenberg Bay (PBZ). It was a J41 for the 2hrs and my nephew was right hand seat. As soon as we had taxied to the holding point, I was invited up to the jump seat, for my Nephew to operate the sector. Watching that familiar runway departure off from that unusual perspective is something I will never see again. With all the conversation, the Cpt forgot to note the time of take off, happily I had it on my watch. Once we reached cruise, I went back to my seat for the meal. Then returned for descent. I got the distinct impression that the turn over the bay was wider and longer than strictly necessary as they pointed out the features.
