Although I know better. I like to pretend that the guys up front are focused on flying the plane and not their phones.
What would you like us to do for 5.5 hours late at night? This is the type of stuff that keeps us awake.

Good eye! Cleveland.

This was a bird strike I had in June going into Charlotte. That’s what a turkey buzzard can do at 180 knots. Even damaged the radar inside the nose cone.

It must have vaporized his arse, because we saw no feathers and there was only a few splatters of blood on the wind shield. We were at 2,000’ and 180 knots (207 mph).

Great pics!
I fly a lot and love to look down on cities especially at night. I fly a lot to Southeast Asia from Abu Dhabi for the past 20 years to Bangkok (65 times), AD to Jakarta and Bali (38 times), and AD to Kuala Lumpur (10 times), and that is minus 2 years not going due to Covid.
I have seen some beautiful skies, clouds, mountains, oceans and the craziest terrain over Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, Kazakhstan and Hungary

I got a good look at all of southern Greenland once on a flight as a passenger from Moscow to Houston. What an incredibly inhospitable terrain it is. Nothing but huge crevasses and glaciers. Would be impossible to travel on foot.

There is this mode on our phones that you’re supposed to use. For the life of me, I can’t think of the name. Maybe one of these airplane guys will know.
