Sorry for the quality of these but it was dark with my phone. We were heading to HKG over Russia with a long line of traffic racing to get in first. Needless to say we almost won except for Singapore 1, those guys don't worry about gas and never slowed down. Once we got well enough ahead we slowed back to normal speed.


Check out the mach number in the upper left of the PFD. We still had more but held it off. ATC wanted us to pass the others.


A company A340-600 never had a chance! He left 15 mins before us and we got there 25 mins ahead of him.


Saying Hi to Kim Jong-il as we pass over N. Korea.
