Thanks for sharing that excellent article above. To put it in perspective, here was the flight path of my TPE-PEK flight back in 2011. As I had anticipated that sharp turn in the middle of what is supposed to be normal cruising, sensing the plane initiate the bank to the left was an exciting feeling indeed. It was a part of what still makes flying fun after all these years.
