Guest g_i_jack029 Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 Yes, that's right i loose my virginity!!! (jet flying virginity for those of you who have a sick mind or who don't have the disese) it's with my school which i don't want to say (preditors, freaks, people who don't have the disese, you get the idea) anyway it's a 2 week trip in october, i fly from YMML (with a clan of kids) to KLAX and get on a connecting flight to K*** (also again for privacy reasons, i'm very cautious ) i've already told my parents to be prepared that when i come home 95% of the pictures will be of aircraft and airports :D so that actually is absolute crap load of images of non aviation related things :lol: if 5% is of america (thats about 4000 image's) what about the rest :roll: :lol: i had to put in an application that was very tough, also the interveiw was even more tough!!! *shivers down spine* and i was sucessful!!!!

Nick Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Hey dirty jack are you flying direct or via sydney?
Uncle Chop Chop Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Well where are the Trip Reports and the Pictures? The suspense is killing me :lol:
Guest g_i_jack029 Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Chop, settle lol, dial up=SLOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and a fairly small sized photo takes ages to load :( picture to tease the cr@p out of you all
Guest g_i_jack029 Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Ok, it all started on November the 14th, i with a group of around 20 kids caught the bus too early in the morning and made the trip to my favorite place in victoria...YMML. Around 12:42 the aircraft (747-400ER VH-OEI) was pushed back and we taxiied down to runway 16 .at exactly 12:52pm, the Jumbo roared down the runway. we climbed through the cloud (i had window seat). at around 1:26pm at 29,000ft we crossed over the coast near merimbula. Then after a 14 hour flight we landed on runway 25L/7R, in the morning in LAX at 02:27 AEST. Then we taxiied to the Tom Bradley terminal. From that point on it was all school stuff that i really don't want to go into detail in (privacy reasons) anyway i can tell you some of the cool stuff we did do :D (No names of places) things we did and notable things: First night we went to a Football game, 2 local schools had their rivalry match. Went to a mexican market, pretty crazy!!!! When out on a farm saw a F/A-18 hornet go screaming accross the sky (We were near a AFB, no names) School volleyball match at night, CRAZY!!!! our team won and half way through the whole school band came in to the stadium to support their team, awesome match!!! Had toaster stroodle for breakfast (hard to explain, but it should be a dessert! chocolate topping and everything) Made a massively long trip to the Seqoias (The big trees, absolutely HUGE!!!) That night we went to and ice hockey match, folks, what you see on T.V. is basically the same. Fights within the 1st quarter, i got to go on the ice at half time!!! The next day i went to San Fransisco!!! got to ride the cable cars and go to Alcatraz!! that was really amazing and of course got to see the bridge :D then the last few days was taken up with tours of LA and disneyland and California adventure. Then the return flight....WAS ON THE A380!!!!!!!!! HELLL YEAH!!!!!!! (I was sooo pumped!) Board Aircraft: 17:26 on the 1st of december AEST Push back: 18:40 Departure time: 19:01 Cruise stats: ALT:38,000 speed:930 k/ph- bad headwinds temp:-51 degree celsius Land: Time-9:59 on the 3rd of december AEST RWY-16? Aircraft: Airbus A380-800 Rego: (nancy bird Walton Captain: Peter Appleton ok, after awhile compressing the pictures down to nothing, heres a few happy snaps i've taken The 747 that took me to the United States of America before boarding the aircraft, a nice Untied 747 waiting Nice sunset out the side After landing, still in the jumbo, out the window is a United Bombardier CRJ A380 with the Airbridge joined, waiting to go Tail Cam in the A380 Pilot* (Note. not plural) sleeping area (this was the start of the tour :D ) I have lots more photos to add, check my gallery some time (through all the dodgey photos i might add some more america photos, but not just yet, check in a few weeks :D) i may write up another proper trip report in a new thread and expand on everything, thanks chop chop for making me do this :) lol hope you all enjoy
Uncle Chop Chop Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Thouraghly enjoyed it mate. Some good photos. I can't wait to fly on the A380. Gotta wait 3 years though. By then Qantas should have their entire fleet of A380's.
Uncle Chop Chop Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Judging by the topic title you were pretty excited to go on this trip. I can only imagine what you will be like when you learn your going to be a Dad or when your girlfriend says she will marry you :lol:
