I almost lived on BA 2193/2192 for three years. It's a good flight more or less. Pretty soon he'll be hitting that turbulent zone either on or just south of Greenland...

I can only imagine the emotions that the flights bring back: James and Amy anxious to see the loves of your lives in the UK whom you've missed. . . heartbreak returning to the States. . .

(Switch directions for Emma and Paul. Dalya/Dog on the Scotland route, too.)

Now I guess it's more like excitement about seeing family, and not quite as heart-wrenching returning home??

Still, talk about emotion.

yeah, loads of memories - those flights are really vivid in the mind. i still remember really clearly going up the airport escalator and meeting amy for the first time.

flights are kinda more fun now cos we get to go on them together.

I know it's not very Forkerlike, but we need a heart smilie so I can use it when responding to posts like this.
