I hate sitting in the 757 jumpseat, when Captain Kangaroo refuses to inch the seat up even a tiny bit.

We found this book very helpful:

Rick Steves London 2015: Rick Steves, Gene Openshaw: 9781612389769: Amazon.com: Books

Some of the best attractions are free (British Museum, National Gallery, and the well-maintained parks, for example).

Ahhhh, the hat thing.

I don't object to the hat, per se, but I'm blessed with a full head of hair.

Wearing the thing gives me rock solid, all-day, helmet head, even if I just got sheared.

I would trade the creeper overcoat for a leather jacket....any day and twice on Sunday.

I'm tall and put my seat all the way back in cruise... pre-brief js'er they'll have to sit side-saddle at cruise... not a big deal... I do it all the time when I js... rest your feet on your suitcase, put your nav case on the armrest behind you and lean back... your good to go... very comfy.

Of course, I always consider myself a guest on the js... sounds like you take a different view.

If y'all like history and airplanes, a must-see is Duxford, which is on the south side of Cambridge. Lots of cool airplanes, and oftentimes, you can see warbirds flying from an active airfield that dates to 1919. They have an airshow on 23-24 May ... IWM Duxford Air Shows

He has spammed another thread about this. I told him just what you said.

Or you could just say, "Thank you for the ride."

Just a thought.

Any of you use the UFlyMike headset? Is it approved for use? Thanks in advance.

I wear one and like it. Just went to the site recently and the old ones are sold out. They have a new one coming out that is muscular and looks nice. It isn't available yet.

During initial 757 bounces, I ran the seat back, devastating the instructors new flight kit..Then and only then did I realize the power of the "chair."
