Below are pics of my plane trip to Sussex. I had not flown since I was 6 years old.

This is the Boeing 747-400 I flew in.

Preparing to take off, flaps out, through a dirty window...

Above some neat looking clouds, through a dirty window... The real question though is that blood or oil stains on the engine exahust?

I had a window seat if you didn't guess. I sat next to, 2 elderly English citizens nice people. The plane was completely full. I did not sleep. The engines were VERY loud. However, the ear plugs with my sound proof headphones handled that ok. There was also an LCD on the back of the seat in front of you that played movies. So I watched, "Bruce Almighty", (Way to preachy for my tatse), "Buffalo Soliders" (Very weak), and the classic "Don't tell mom the Baby Sitter is Dead". More importantly though, they had about 16 SNES games to play so I passed most of the trip playing Dr. Mario. (Dr. Mario at 37,000 feet, top that Mike!) I took a picture of this magazine cause I had not yet taken a picture of my thumb. That and I thought it was funny that someone would actually title a catalog that with a captive audience, and for the record a lot of people did buy stuff. (Not me).

This just looked cool.

This was the LCD I was talking about, it would also show a map, with speed, alt, and time left, etc. It was very cool.

Landing at Heathrow. There was nothing on the wing by the way, I kept my eyes on it the whole time. The plane trip took 9hours 45 minutes. Getting through Customs, baggage, Cash, and buss ticket 1 hour. I have more pictures, I took a total of 34.
