will you ever fly on an E-170, I really want to see an hd video of one!

[mikeycbd]

@Helicopterpilot16 never say never. I do plan to travel a bit more, just wait and see I guess.

I'm pretty sure that Darwin Intl is also an Air Force base, isn't it?

[mikeycbd]

@legomovies64 yes there is a big plane (don't know what) landing when i was there. Hercules or something.

[pataldunc]

@mikeycbd Yeah,most likely a C-130, but they also have F/A18's there, so if you heard a really loud engine, it was probably one.

[PilotUTA]

how long of a flight was it?

[mikeycbd]

@PilotUTA about 4 hours 30 mins.

[frequentairbusflyer8]

awesome, looked like a smooth takeoff and climb!

[mikeycbd]

@frequentairbusflyer8 yes was pretty good until half way up. 

[alaricdogface]

You get a nice view of the beaches when the plane is banking. Something to think about an a long flight I guess.

[mikeycbd]

@alaricdogface true, i've nearly finished by book on this flight but the book is a bit heavy so better staring out of the window :-0

[TheLiLD95]

Great! That is a long flight! What did Virgin Blue provide (entertainment, food, etc.)?

[mikeycbd]

@TheLiLD95 If you want to pay for Live to Air and you have to pay for any food items.

[foshizmaniz21]

Great video, you should get a seat in front of the engine!

[mikeycbd]

@foshizmaniz21 If you fly a lot you will know front seats, like 4a, are reserved for frequent flyers and i'm not a FF on Virgin. I've got a couple of videos with engine view, not my preference.

[foshizmaniz21]

@mikeycbd Fair enough, I do like seeing the flaps and wing flexing though
