    With the year of the pilot drawing to a close I wanted to share some of the pictures of my pilot collection. Most of these pictures are from my previous flight to Brussels, where I also visited the Military museum which has a huge collection of airplanes, tanks and other military hardware from WWI era till recent times.
    My crew included the Big pilot and the spitfire chronograph.

    Brings a whole new view of "pilot watches". The shot over Dubai is spectacular.

    Very enjoyable post. Thanks!

    Vishal, great post!

    As a Diver - I like to see Divers wearing AT's in and around the water. However, I also do very much appreciate it when I see Pilots wearing their Pilot watches in and around the planes and in the air!

    Great travelog...thanks for sharing.

    Vishal, truly exceptional pictures. I had the good fortune of spending quality time with you and I must say you are not only a true professional pilot but a real gentleman as well. See you soon.

    As a pilot this year must have been great news for you! Some great photos in the post as well although the fourth photo has me perplexed.
    Altitude 39000 heading and Mach showing as blank. Did you power climb vertically and reached zero speed? Or is there some copter that goes to 39000ft?
