Hey happy skies for you brother, it is not the same but a sunrise or sunset can still be enjoyed from the ground when that day comes.
Thanks, and I should not complain, not grounded yet, but itching to take early retirement with a golden parachute kind of retirement if such a package is offered to the TowerDog..Have a sneaky feeling it won't be.
Aye, back to topic: 747-200F, most comfortable freighter out there.
Have taken plenty of jumpseats on DC-8s, 10s and MD-11 freighters where one was offered a cold and dark jumpseat just in front of the cargo and behind the bulkhead.
Price was right of course, but handshakes and hospitality does not quite make up for good sleep and good food.
(All -200 freighters have a galley and in 99% of flights, catering)
