Cruising altitude
What it's like to live at 30,000 ft
Airports are easy
How to fly
One foot on the ground, one foot in the sky
V1
Move about the cabin
I love to fly
Smooth air
Slipping the surly bonds of earth
Danced the skies
Jetfuel is my coffee
A quarter of the way to the sun

some of these are GREAT, I would update this one to be “you’re now free to move about the cabin”.. or “free to move about the cabin”

something about doing this all on UA metal though makes me think that a more UA specific name would be appropriate.

Rolling triple sevens.. rolling triple 777’s
Rhapsody in Blue & White
Rhapsody at 35000 ft
come Fly with me
Do you want to take a flight?
From OZ to EZE - and back again. - with the sub line, a frequent fliers tale

This is a fun exercise!

Thanks David . Good to hear from you. See you in the sky.

Fair question . The London trip was solely for the purpose of hitting 23 million. The Australia trip is my involvement in a Children’s Cancer Charity. ( more explained in my upcoming book) The milestone was crazy flying. The “cancer trip “ was something I Had to / proud to do.

There was a preflight photo,(that I initiated) and an announcement about 20 minutes into the flight. Other than that it was just another million.

I LOVE one of them. I’ll let you know later which one. I’ve already thought about it before, but it was nice that you have came up with it as well.

Too ambiguous. That's where coffee (or other beverage) gets spilt on an airplane.

Recently found this pic of a bunch of us touring the Operations Center at Willis Tower. 10 years ago in November.
