HAHA, i did had a chat with the captain, he was in the RAF 18 years ago , and i m in the School RAF cadet

it was fun to chat with him.

 

And i did told him "Thats wt i wanna be when older(PILOT) "

he told me " i should join CX, They paid lots more"

They still allow cockpit visits? Darn it, last time, I can get in effortlessly but now, after the 911 attack, its really hard to get in. I have been on a Triple 7 and the 737-400 MAS. The triple 7 is a sweet one.=D

It is not 100% that you requested and will be allowed, it all depends on the captain.

Congratulations to Derek on a.net top 5 yesterday. Hope u can post a TR on your ICN trip. Look forward to that.

Great shots Derek

 

You very lucky to have permission to go into the cockpit.

 

Tried to ask my dad's cousin to give me a tour of the airplane (9M-MPB) before MH095 started to board (didn't bring camera ).

 

She said yes but she said that the cockpit is off-limits

Just got know that his trip to ICN was not allowed to have a cockpit visit.

He should have back already, maybe he will show/ share what he has had soon.
