Another good package of photos.

AirBlue Airbus A340 at Jeddah is a good catch.

Amazing photographs and certainly a different perspective to what a normal passenger might see. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Vaqar

Gyro-copters flying close to beach in Jeddah.. there's a small airstrip near corniche and one can see many gyros flying every evening around the coast line..

Another beautiful photograph. Captures the sunset very well. Are the gyro copters privately owned or do they take fare paying passengers on sight seeing tours?

x_man, very nice photography from your office

i have a question, is the catering self service or any specific crew serve on board during freighter flight?

Thankyou all.

@ Vaqar : I have never visited the gyrocopter club but heard that they do take passengers on the joyrides around Jeddah but dont know how much they charge .

I was looking at the below website and found that they even run training courses for the gyros. Every evening one can see lot of gyros around Jeddah beach, I guess they are quite popular here.

@ Raihans : There is no specified crew who is responsible for serving the catering on freight flights . Many times we fly with cockpit crew only and sometimes additionally with a loadmaster or a ground engineer.

Typically everyone makes their own tea/coffee and warm their own food however as a courtesy one does offer to make tea/coffee for other crew members.
