And it is time for today photo story!

Today's flight was from YSSY to KDFW, with 777-200LR. AAL was the airline and I start at the INTL terminal at YSSY. It was 10 in the morning local Sydney time:

Image
Image

And after the PB it is time for taxi and line-up! Takeoff RWY was 16R!

Image
Image

Time to go....

Image
Image
Image

What a wonderful scenery, ha, Sydney is so amazing!

Image

And, as usual - climb was so good! First 15300 feet, then 27000...

Image
Image

And finally to 35000 feet, my cruising altitude! Wonderful clean sky and shining sun at noon...

Image

It's getting dark... Near to YSNF...

Image

It is early morning around the Mexico shore, soon going to get it..... 12 hours already in the air......

Image

Time to descend...

Image

The app is started. Dallas looks so good at morning...

Image

Short final...

Image

And... Land it!

Image

Welcome in Dallas, TX, USA!

Image
Image

So, this was today's photo story. Hope you enjoyed! And I'll see you tomorrow for the third!

And, dear pilots, it is time for a new story!
Yesterday I started another long-haul flight from KDFW to VHHH. Boeing 777-300ER was the aircraft, again on AAL.

Of course, started on a gate. It was 10:10 am in morning. Usual staff, startup, taxiing, line up...

Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

And my takeoff:

Image
Image
Image
Image

It was a bit unpleasant to turn immediately after takeoff, but unfortunately, the SID option on KDFW is really big, so big that I can not reach her beginning:

Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

Starting the climb, there was a huge amount of route after departure without waypoints... a bit weird, but nice:

Image

And of course, as usual - pleasant cruise at 34000 feet. Nice views over northern Canada, near to the north pole, over China...

Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

Descending and final in dusk time:

Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

And... Welcome in Hong Kong!!!

Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

thx for watching!

Do you sleep the haul, or are you on the cockpit attending the plane the full time?
