Sunrise on the summer solstice (best viewed in HD)

Just some raw footage of a sunrise. No music. Just the sounds and view from the cockpit. The other pilot didn't realize I was filming it, he thought I was taking a few still shots. So you get some candid comments, too.

Flight was from Boston to Paris.

do you fly for fun?

[fly4fun]

@yezidi11 I do fly small planes. But not as much as I'd like to.

I still consider work flying to be fun, though.

Hm.. I thought only 4 engine planes fly over the Atlantic..

[fly4fun]

@DenisKomment That used to be the case, prior to the 767 introduction in '83. Today, the majority of traffic across the North Atlantic is of the two-engine variety. Some of which are 737s and A319s in fact.

Ive had the pleasure to take an early morning flight out of DFW to MIA 5:50 and witnessed the morning sun rise. amazing stuff i should say, but the glare isnt really friendly.

@DenisKomment ..thats actually quite funny. Along the Lines of CRM. As the Captain turns to his first officer and says..."This is the COCKPIT, you are the Resource, I am the Manager."

Best job on earth !

[DenisKomment]

@TheUKCanadian yes, thank you. i read about it already, Engine Turns Off Passengers Swim :)) just kidding)

[TheUKCanadian]

@DenisKomment it is called ETOPS. Extended twin engine operation. There are a certain number of conditions that need to be met in order for an aircraft to conduct ETOPS flights over the Oceans or over Rural parts of the globe. So many miles away from an airport that it must be able to reach in a certain number of minutes, etc. etc.
