    Great shots, Vishal!

    Beautiful view, and very well complemented with your VC AT! It looks very at home in the flight deck.

    Can't wait to see you to post some with a "pilot". ;-)

    Cheers!

    Sure ! My next trip is to Hong Kong. Planning to take my VC portofino for a strap change to Santoni. Flights after that will be dedicated to my IWC pilot watches. Please standby.

    Great series of pictures, but by mutual agreement in a white paper written some time ago, it was agreed that all future Nad shots had to be done while the vehicle was at a complete stop. I have to insist that an aircraft abide by the same rules. LOL.

    Thanks for sharing your pictures. They are wonderful and unique.

    Brought back old and happy memories..Thanks for sharing.
    Never saw the islands from that high. Landed there a couple of times in the early 1970s in B737. Tricky approach to runway 13.
    Safe landings:-)

    Clepsydra B737-200 was the first Jetliner I flew. I logged more than 2000 hrs on type before moving on to the next generation of B737. I am sure you have lots of fond memories attached with this great flying machine.

    Regards,

    Vishal.

    I logged over 4000 hors in B737-200 and 200ADV, until I stopped flying commercial jets and went on to do other things. She never let me down. She is indeed a reliable machine. But my real "love" is still the DC3/C47 - low and slow, the way I like it now. I wish I had one around. :-)

    Hi Vishal, that's a great post.

    You have the upper-hand taking pics from the cockpit. I have to contort myself just to snap a few from the tiny porthole, LOL!!!!

    Maybe out flight schedules will cross one day!

    Wow, great shots. Thanks for sharing. And again it was proven that an AT is a good companion in all elements - water, earth, air and fire ... hold on a moment, I haven't yet seen a pic of an AT in the fire element ... we need to make up for it:-)
