Yes, that's right i loose my virginity!!! (jet flying virginity for those of you who have a sick mind or who don't have the disese)

 

it's with my school which i don't want to say (preditors, freaks, people who don't have the disese, you get the idea)

 

anyway it's a 2 week trip in october, i fly from YMML (with a clan of kids) to KLAX and get on a connecting flight to K*** (also again for privacy reasons, i'm very cautious )

 

i've already told my parents to be prepared that when i come home 95% of the pictures will be of aircraft and airports :D

 

so that actually is absolute crap load of images of non aviation related things :lol: if 5% is of america (thats about 4000 image's) what about the rest :roll: :lol:

 

i had to put in an application that was very tough, also the interveiw was even more tough!!! *shivers down spine*

 

and i was sucessful!!!!

G'day mate,

 

What day are you departing? I will be in the US at the same time.

 

Speaking from someone that popped the cherry at a young age (continuting on with the sick jokes), you will have a blast.

 

KLAX is an experience, i will tell you that! Cannot say it is my favourite airport in the world though :lol:

Ok, it all started on November the 14th, i with a group of around 20 kids caught the bus too early in the morning and made the trip to my favorite place in victoria...YMML. Around 12:42 the aircraft (747-400ER VH-OEI) was pushed back and we taxiied down to runway 16 .at exactly 12:52pm, the Jumbo roared down the runway. we climbed through the cloud (i had window seat). at around 1:26pm at 29,000ft we crossed over the coast near merimbula. Then after a 14 hour flight we landed on runway 25L/7R, in the morning in LAX at 02:27 AEST. Then we taxiied to the Tom Bradley terminal.

 

From that point on it was all school stuff that i really don't want to go into detail in (privacy reasons) anyway i can tell you some of the cool stuff we did do :D (No names of places)

 

things we did and notable things:

 

First night we went to a Football game, 2 local schools had their rivalry match.

 

Went to a mexican market, pretty crazy!!!!

 

When out on a farm saw a F/A-18 hornet go screaming accross the sky (We were near a AFB, no names)

 

School volleyball match at night, CRAZY!!!! our team won and half way through the whole school band came in to the stadium to support their team, awesome match!!!

 

Had toaster stroodle for breakfast (hard to explain, but it should be a dessert! chocolate topping and everything)

 

Made a massively long trip to the Seqoias (The big trees, absolutely HUGE!!!)

 

That night we went to and ice hockey match, folks, what you see on T.V. is basically the same. Fights within the 1st quarter, i got to go on the ice at half time!!!

 

The next day i went to San Fransisco!!! got to ride the cable cars and go to Alcatraz!! that was really amazing and of course got to see the bridge :D

 

then the last few days was taken up with tours of LA and disneyland and California adventure.

 

Then the return flight....WAS ON THE A380!!!!!!!!! HELLL YEAH!!!!!!! (I was sooo pumped!)

 

Board Aircraft: 17:26 on the 1st of december AEST

 

Push back: 18:40

 

Departure time: 19:01

 

Cruise stats: ALT:38,000

 

speed:930 k/ph- bad headwinds

 

temp:-51 degree celsius

 

Land: Time-9:59 on the 3rd of december AEST

 

RWY-16?

 

Aircraft: Airbus A380-800

 

Rego: (nancy bird Walton

 

Captain: Peter Appleton

 

ok, after awhile compressing the pictures down to nothing, heres a few happy snaps i've taken

 

The 747 that took me to the United States of America

 

 

before boarding the aircraft, a nice Untied 747 waiting

 

 

Nice sunset out the side

 

 

After landing, still in the jumbo, out the window is a United Bombardier CRJ

 

 

A380 with the Airbridge joined, waiting to go

 

 

Tail Cam in the A380

 

 

Pilot* (Note. not plural) sleeping area (this was the start of the tour :D )

 

 

I have lots more photos to add, check my gallery some time (through all the dodgey photos i might add some more america photos, but not just yet, check in a few weeks :D)

 

i may write up another proper trip report in a new thread and expand on everything,

 

thanks chop chop for making me do this :) lol

 

hope you all enjoy
