Home again

I am home again.

Also, the front of the main-floor of the passenger cabin of a 747 looks really odd -- I'm not used to the front of the plane ending in a bulk-head, not in a door.

Welcome back!

Maybe it's a self-driving plane!

I think most planes (at least at the passenger-jet end of things) are self-driving planes for most of their flight.

Heh. One of my earlier memories is of taking a BOAC 747 from Paris to Boston when I was 6; we sat a couple of rows from that bulkhead. Because there was no such thing back then as seat-back screens, there was a movie screen there. No recollection what the movie was but it was scary. ::grin::

747s have been around a long time... I'm just surprised that this past year is the first time I've been on one, and this week was my first encounter with that blank bulkhead.

Sitting with a movie.. RIGHT THERE... yeah, scary.

Nah, I was a little kid. The existence of a screen wasn't the problem. The existence of the images cast on that screen was the problem. Things in that movie were going kaboom. For YEARS after that, I was convinced that any Airstream trailer would explode.
