Boeing 777-212ER cockpit

Last week, my friend and I piloted a Boeing 777, the largest long-range wide-body twin engine jet airliner in the world. It has a seating capacity of between 314 and 396 passengers. Modern navigation systems and smart autopilot make the aircraft safe to fly and comfortable for passengers and pilots alike. Still specialized training is needed to fly the airliner.

I controlled the jet from captain’s seat. The aircraft humbly obeyed my every command. With control of the plane at high altitude, I forgot all about my earthly problems. I successfully landed in Hong Kong the world most dangerous airport. Passengers happily applauded our successful arrival.

Special thanks to the flight simulator and staff at uFly Simulator of Mississauga for an unforgettable experience.
