First flight




Had my first flight to Frankfurt Germany last week on September 27th. It was amazing to finally fly the 747 after 3 months of training, exams and too much studying.

The flight started out with climbing up the staircase to the flight deck 2 stories high. Once in the cockpit little sandwiches and drinks were brought up, delightful. Took off at 11:30 pm and I was on duty with the Captain for the first shift till about 5:30 am. We flew over China, Kazachstan, and into Russia.... Flew over moutain peaks of 24,000 ft through the Himaluns. This is the part that required alot of attention as you can not descend very low if there is a problem and you have to know where you are at all times and what to do if anything goes wrong.

I am heading off to Paris in two weeks to see Chrisite which I am really excited about.

I am off to London next week and fly to L.A. and San Fran this month.

Life is good!
