Greetings!
This one is somewhat special - apart from being old and bad quality... ;-)
Back in the days when I was working as a first officer on the B747-200, I was scheduled on a trip to Miami in January 2001.
By coincidence, one of our flight attendants was accompanied by her best friend from school. Of course, we invited her to join us on the flightdeck during take-off when departing Miami. This was before all cockpit doors had to remain closed...
I married her two years later and that is how I met my wife for the first time: in the cockpit of a B747-200! :-D
My apologies for the bad quality but we recently found this footage which was still stored on Hi8 tape and I had to get it online as it brings back good memories of good old times.
Please, do not mind the strange sounds and talks - it is all authentic. :-P
Enjoy!
