May 27, 20197 yr Yesterday, I took a trip out to Atlanta to have a look at the Boeing 747-400. N661US, in particular, was the first Boeing 747-400 built and participated in Boeing's flight test certification before being delivered to Northwest. Now, let's jump on board. The nose section of the Boeing 747-400. The first time I've ever sat in a First Class seat. Go figure we're not actually flying anywhere. The first time I've ever been in the upper deck of a Boeing 747-400. If it looks like I'm out on the wing, it's because....I'm out on the wing. You really don't get a good grasp of how big the Boeing 747-400 is until....WEL....you're actually standing right next to one at ground level. I can fit right under it with room to spare. This is considering I'm 5'12". There's a look at the engine. I may have parked my MDX somewhere behind the plane. Now my MDX doesn't look so big in comparison to the big wing of this jet. The view from the flight deck. We clearly aren't going anywhere. Captain Kevin Air Kevin 124 heavy, wind calm, runway 4 left, cleared for take-off. Live streams of my flights here.
May 27, 20197 yr I always enjoy going to the Delta Museum. I have family in Atlanta and hit the museum every chance I get. I love it when they have the Surplus Sales. You can pick up some cool stuff at great prices. The 767 and 747 display is my favorite things to see.

May 27, 20197 yr Perhaps Kevin cannot smile? Does he suffer from the syndrome where one cannot smile due to partial facial paralysis? Or maybe an accident? Just a thought as I've never met Kevin in person. Only Kevin can tell us if he wishes to. Maybe Kevin wants to project an online persona of a grumpy airline captain who is forced to drive trucks when he isn't flying?

May 27, 20197 yr Author Can't say I've ever had a goatee, seeing as I don't really grow all that much hair on my chin. Certainly not enough to be able to have a goatee.
