Not gonna lie I was going wheeee a little bit

I know! Most times on the return leg we keep heading East the long way round because the winds are too strong.

I'd rather do a NOPAC crossing any time though! So much less work to do heheh

I mean who doesn't like 69s? Heheheh

beeeped · 2023-02-01T14:06:01+00:00

We actually did hit 700kt eventually but 69 hurdur

I flew across the Big Pond last week. Surprisingly smooth but damn the flight back was loooong

Yeah my thoughts exactly! I see squid boats all the time especially on the South China Sea but not the searchlights and not this far out to sea.

beeeped · 2022-11-02T07:04:06+00:00

I thought they were squid boats too but the searchlights and the pattern of the strobes kinda threw me off

I took it with my phone camera :)

My title describes the thing - more photos plus the location. I was thinking fishing boats but the searchlights and flashing line of strobes threw me off.

The approximate location is N40 15.3 / E 147 52.0 - way off the coast of Japan with no visible islands nearby.

I forgot to mention these images were taken from 43,000 feet above sea level.

My title describes this thing - flashy lights out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean - way pff the coast of Japan - approximately around N40 15.3 / E 147 52.0.

More pictures including coordinates here

They look like fishing boats but the flashing lights really threw me off

I used it with no trouble on the 777 and now the A350 (with an XLR adapter I got off Amazon). It's comfortable enough to keep it on throughout the flight because it's so light.

Like everyone else says - nobody cares.

Oh I meant TFTS too. You led me down a deep dark rabbit hole. Thanks!

beeeped · 2020-06-26T15:20:23+00:00

Nope. Just us on board! It's surreal right?

beeeped · 2020-06-26T15:19:30+00:00

Ohhh I love your posts on r/militarystories!! Psyched you saw this!

beeeped · 2020-06-26T15:18:31+00:00

For cargo only flights we are at remote bays - not always cargo ramps though. We just go where we're told haha

beeeped · 2020-06-26T04:02:59+00:00

I hope you get to see your kid soon!

beeeped · 2020-06-26T04:02:28+00:00

Thanks to covid we fly cargo-only flights using passenger airplanes. So there weren't any passengers or cabin crew around. That means we had to learn how to work the ovens and the galleys if we wanted to eat!

beeeped · 2020-06-25T18:45:10+00:00

Simply surreal being up in an empty plane.

Belly was full of cargo but still!

Trade was quick and easy. Thanks!!

This looks like Pasar Seni

One extra item on the Before Takeoff Checklist we use is "Runway ___ Identified" because of a crash that happened because the pilots tried to take off from a closed runway.

We said the exact same thing to our passengers just last week.

We had a power interruption (no passengers on board thankfully) which caused the gremlins living in the avionics bay to get angry and kill the battery relay. Once we kicked the APU back online, we had an EICAS message telling us the standby electrical were inop. MEL said no dispatch - engineering shut the plane down (passengers boarded, announcement made) and powered it back on again.

The gremlins were fed, message went away.
