I have been lucky to have so many great experiences on flights.
A Concorde trip in November, see the sun set, rise again in the West and then set again. Take off from WAS with only seven passengers on board and then at MIA land in the jump seat.
Landing over the flats at the old HKG airport when in the jump seat.
On a trip back from YYZ, being invited to the flight deck to watch the Aurora Borealis.
An amazing sight with the clouds appearing to overtake the aircraft and all around us was lights.
I returned to my window seat determined to watch as much as possible as most of the passengers slept on.With my face against the window and pillows around my head to block the cabin lights I got a gentle dig in the ribs from one of the flight crew. They were so in awe of the light show that he was coming through the cabin looking for anyone awke to invite them up front.
Sadly oh how things have changed.
