I was on THAT AC 15 flight and the entire discussion is here. Start at post 3636 and read all of it. I posted photos there too. (And yes, I am sad for the poor injured bird)

As I read YVRtoYYZ's post I was all...uhhhh...how'd you miss that!? It was amusing.

Racing over the North Atlantic

AC865 last week. Not sure exactly sure who these guys were but they were flying a 747. We raced each other for close to an hour and they eventually won, the rainbow obviously being the finish line.

Back-and-forth between Asia and YYZ (likely similar to you). I don't normally read the "incidents" thread but put my comments in there. Too bad I missed an opportunity to meet the famous @24left in HKG as I was delayed there until 01:00L.

@YVRtoYYZ

Aw, thanks. Not famous. Not infamous. I am here to provide some of the entertainment portion of the show and remind myself that life is short, fly lots and have fun.

And yes, since I was still at HKIA waiting for my onward flight, meeting you would have been great.

I was fascinated with the sensors on the wing and how the sun reflects off them







Although we left YYZ about 40 minutes late (no de-icing) and we made up time inflight, well HKIA ATC had other plans for us, as is often the case.

Of course we feel the aircraft turning multiple times and can see the change in arrival time and distance out, on the IFE.

Still, I liked the view below








And here we are, inbound to 7R at 14:52 local




And this is at 14:53, just prior to hitting the runway....well that plus a few bounces.


Stunning!

Thanks.
I have plenty of bad photos. Sometimes there is turbulence, sometimes the lighting looks great out the window, but not in the photo.

I'm also using an iPhone 8. It's great for my travels but when others here post photos using great glass, well you can see the difference.

IMHO, it's also what I see out the window. As you have seen from my photos, I have been on the viewing end of some amazing sunsets, sunrises, views of the wing, and some scenery below. Nature deserves the credit. I just take the photos.

I had the orange tag ripped off a few times, just to let you know so take a closer look
