What a fantastic sight it is!!
saw it last night when driving home and stopped the car to look and wonder at the beauty of it.
Nigel Pax, many pax get very annoyed if they are woken up at night for something as "boring" as the aurora borealis. I know; when I was a young and innocent FA
I once tried to share my enthusiasm for the fairy tale light show outside with some of the sleeping businessmen on the upperdeck. Didn't go down very well, so haven't dared to do that again in the 19 years since.
As to FA's not knowing about them; what can i say? Last time in Beijing we were discussing Mao's little red book in the crewbus. Only the Captain and myself had ever heard of that too.
But I digress...........
Nice to know this year is going to be a good one for the "Dancing Fairies" !!
