Borass the Magnificient

Did you know that when I left the Air Force for Delta Air Lines, I learned a totally new aircraft in the simulator. All of it. I never saw the actual jet until the moment I flew it.

A quick look inside the crew areas of the Boeing 777F. Starting at the entry door, the galley and lounge space serve as a rest area for crew and authorized riders, known as “supernumerary” seats. Just beyond are two crew bunks, typically prepared with fresh linens for in-flight rest. Further along is a well-sized lavatory, followed by access to a spacious four-pilot flight deck — designed for long-haul operations and crew rotation.

ICELANDAIR REPORTS OWN PILOT TO POLICE OVER LOW FLYOVER INCIDENT. Icelandair has taken a serious stance after one of its pilots allegedly flew a Boeing 757 (TF-ISR) below permitted altitude, nearly 100 m/328 ft over Vestmannaeyjar, during his final flight before retirement. The captain, a native of the area, was saying goodbye after 40 years of service and reportedly carried out the low-level pass while operating a Frankfurt-Keflavík service. According to the airline's Chief Flight Officer, the maneuver was conducted without management knowledge or approval and only came to light after the incident.
