Naim 6 Report post Posted January 19, 2012 Oh, that one ... Special sticker: 40 Years Spirit of the Union - National Day. UAE was formed 02 Dec 1971 when 7 emirates formed a federation. So last Dec they celebrated 40th anniv, and the 7 figures are the bosses of the 7 member emirates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mokhzani 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2012 Doc, to go to the cockpit, do you go down or up the steps? From the outside the cockpit's deck looks like its between the deck hence your ',mezzanine floor"?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mohd Azizul Ramli 2 Report post Posted January 26, 2012 The cockpit is accessible from the main deck. One has to go up a few steps to get into it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From the outside the cockpit's deck looks like its between the deck hence your ',mezzanine floor"?? Azizul is right. These pics should clarify things a bit -- 'mezzanine' is of course a slight exaggeration. === Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
