Thank you for another outstanding trip report. I always look forward to reading your reports because you use the written word so well - instead of using pictures, your writing paints a picture in the readers' minds that's far more vibrant than a simple image.

Hopefully, you will write a report on your Sukhoi 100 flight!

As an aside, I live near Minneapolis and tend to be awoken very early because I live two blocks from the Burlington Northern's Minneapolis - Willmar secondary main line, and when I'm on my computer at 3:30 AM, I'll often check Flight Aware to see what airplanes are over Minnesota at that time of night. The CX and PR flights from YVR to JFK are two "regulars", so I was probably watching your aircraft as it flew across the overnight sky.
