1. CX-84 almost ready for departure.
2. Cargo loaded and the doors ready to be closed.
3. While we were getting ready for push back, a Virgin A340-600 touched down on RWY 7L.
4. A Cathay A330-300 takes off while a Continental 777-200ER is seconds away from touch down.
5. Just before rotation I caught this Qatar A340-600 painted in the new livery.
6. Sunset over China.
Soon after sunset, I had some dinner and went to sleep. I was woken up by one of the crew members (as I asked them to) about 90 minutes before landing. It was still dark outside so I had to wait another 45 minutes before I could take the following shots:
7. Sunrise over Alaska, USA as seen from the cockpit.
8. Making a right-turn with the Alaska Range in the background.
9. Flaps extended. About 20 nautical miles away from the airport.
10. As soon as we evacuated RWY 32 we were greeted with a number of FedEx MD-11Fs.
11. Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport's tower in the background with two Alaska B737s and a Cathay A340-300 in the foreground.
12. Took this last shot quickly as I disembarked the plane. The weather outside was close to freezing that day.
