Jumpseat Guests   (Frankfurt-Fuerteventura-Frankfurt, 30.08.2004)
Jump_001.jpg (135348 Byte) First impression for every jumpseat guest: Our nice office up front. As my father boarded in Frankfurt at 0400h local time, it was still dark, and therefore he started to take pictures not before we were at our intermediate stop: Fuerteventura, one of the Canary Islands.

Jump_003.jpg (103046 Byte) Exactly on the spot at FUE.
Jump_004.jpg (151184 Byte) Quite impressive, isn't it?

Jump_006.jpg (57251 Byte) Best seat on the "Bobby": Seat 0F (Front row, righthand seat). Well, second best... :-)
Jump_007.jpg (89184 Byte) "Fox Fox", sitting in the Fuerteventura morning sun...
Jump_008.jpg (106021 Byte) ... after a 5hrs flight from Frankfurt.
Jump_009.jpg (53082 Byte) On the way back to Frankfurt. We have already two hours of flight behind us, and are still just reaching european mainland in the region of the Cabo de San Vicente (most southwestern tip orf continental europe, near Faro in southern Portugal).
Jump_010.jpg (111838 Byte) Seems like a jumpseat ride is lots of fun.
Jump_011.jpg (106552 Byte) But even with guests, we take our task very serious. On this picture a bit too serious - I am in fact glad that I don't have to steer the 737 manually to Frankfurt on this 5hr journey... :-)
Jump_012.jpg (108450 Byte) This is a more usual attitude during cruise flight, as "George" (the autopilot) flies the aircraft.
