Title: 747 Memories at Kia Tak
Post by: sagrada737 on March 12, 2014, 03:09:55 PM

I ran across this photo today, which brought back some memories of a trip my wife and I took to Hong Kong back in 1995.

After we landed, I expressed to the flight attendants an interest in seeing the Cockpit. To my surprise, they took me up to the Flight Deck. The Crew welcomed us warmly, placed their hats on our heads, and directed us to "take command". The Captain then snapped this photo.

Little did I know then that I would be building a full-scale 737-800 Sim in 2014. My, how time flies :)

Great photo Mike! Were you sitting on the right or the left side for the landing? That is one place that would have been on my "bucket list" back in the day.

Hi Steve,

Those were fun times... As far as the landing went... I think I had my eyes closed ;D
