On the way to LAX 🇺🇸 last week. Offsetting on the North Atlantic tracks. We can fly 0, 1 or 2 miles right of track. Helps with wake turbulence and in the event of an aircraft being unable to maintain altitude. 😎

First ‘go’ at Mykonos 🇬🇷 yesterday. Interesting place to put a runway 😅 This is a Captain’s only take off and landing destination and requires a special qualification. Lovely day, beautiful weather and great crew. 😎👍
Leaving the Seychelles 🇸🇨 after a marvellous few days. The airport is built on the coast, surrounded by water and significant terrain. The departure will take us right of runway centreline not long after take off.
