Hey Shirley - YouTube

Sounds a bit like the Radio Rambos I used to listen to when I was a Gearjammer!

10-4 Rubber Duck, come on!

So you flew on a 777?

The best planes in the air, to be sure.

And today I am working on a wing for the 1,363rd 777 to be built. Last year when I had my first day of OJT we were building wings for the 1,245. That makes 118 airplanes that I have contributed to the manufacture of.

Aside from the awesome feeling when I walk into the World's Largest Building each day I sometimes feel a bit overwhelmed when I stop and consider my tiny contribution to the colossal process that produces these great machines.

A 737-800. Maybe not *your* wing, but "yours" for that big corporate entity anyways

I was pleasantly surprised at having enough legroom for a Seattle-DC nonstop that left me able to walk at the end (not frozen in place by too many hours in cramped seating...). Not sure if that's from the new aircraft, or just how Alaska specified their purchases...
