First Flight... Newcastle to Heraklion
Well today I had my first passenger flight. I flew with a Training Captain from Newcastle down to Heraklion on the Greek island of Crete. I was Pilot Flying for the return journey making a solid landing back into Newcastle in dark and wet conditions. Unfortunately I was working too hard to manage to take any photos. Hopefully I'll have a chance in the future. A safety First Officer sat on the jumpseat so it was quite a tight fit on the flight deck, but it added to the people who could grill me with questions, as my training schedule demands!
