What did you fly in today?

I was in the cockpit of the Vulcan and the Victor nose section at Coventry yesterday. Does that count?

After two weeks in Iceland I'm heading home on a Boeing 757-200, you don't see many of these in Europe these days.

To your trained eye yes, to me, they all look the same, especially from the inside.

Back to Iceland.

I finally got myself a long haul jolly for the year - Air Canada Boeing 787-9 to the Big TO.

I liked my experience in the back of the 787, much better than the agricultural 777.

I like the 777. The 757 and 787 are pretty good too, but I don't think I have a preference. Most of my trips are short haul around Europe so mostly A320 family.

The A350 is supposed to be similar to the 787 inside but I have yet to sit in one. The cabin air in the 787 helps on those 12+ hour long haul trips. Not like the 737 where you get an occasional whiff of burning Jet A1... Listening Mr Boeing?

My first flight in a Bombardier CS300 today. Spanking new and still has that showroom smell.
