Interview with Finnair MD-11 pilots

As I wrote in my previous blog post, I sometimes write letters to the cockpit crew en route to ask random questions about the aviation. Few weeks ago, I was once again hopping from Helsinki back to New York, on board of my favorite jet, the good old MD-11.

One weird way to spend time during a flight

Once upon time, I was on board of Airbus A320 heading back to Finland from some a distant southern corner of Europe. The flight was too long to just sit it through but too short that I’d have prepared properly with books and stuff. Additionally, it was the dullest place in the plane I was sitting at: I saw a grey wing through the window instead of a beautiful sky view.

Here in the United States, a car shopping is a bit different joy compared to Finland (and quite many European countries I believe).

Let's get this thingy up and kicking

Finally!

That is the first word in my mind when writing this very first blog post. It has taken too many years to get this blog up and public.

While others took the easy ride and established their blogs into the web publishing services like Blogger or TypePad, I wanted to the take full control over the blog, including the technologies running the blog pages. So I needed to first build the whole web site before get started.
