Paris, first part of day one (of six)

[derg]

Day one of a six day JFK-CDG-CVG-CDG-JFK trip.

The sunrise from the 'red eye' jumpseat to work

Always revisions to do...

Moonrise over the Atlantic

The SATCOM everyone wanted a picture of

(the overhead)

(the SATCOM control)

Sunrise over the North Atlantic tracks:

When...does...my break... come?!?!

Coasting in over Northern France

By the airplane:

Bedtime!

OH, btw, there were two diversions over the track system that you may not have heard about. One was an Austrian Airlines jet with a medical emergency, and another airline had a fire (smoke?) in one of the galleys and was diverting to Lajes, Azores. It wasn't a US carrier.

Indeed he is. Indeed.

Also, I noticed the emergency step ladder below the cockpit window in the bottom picture with Dough and the airplane in the background.

Really, how many pitot tubes does that thing have?

Oh, I have a question. Are your layovers long enough for your body clock to somewhat adjust? Or are you more or less a walking zombie the entire time you're out there.
