Last JQ flight I got to sit in the cockpit, you should try getting in as well just wait till your last aboard and ask the F/A if you can get a photo, if there nice they'll ask the pilots,
it's worked for me every time.
Don't you love the engine starting sound of the A320?
Hey Brad! Newcastle is a great little airport, nice, fresh, modern and clean! It has everything you need. It's also great for the RAAF, as we have the biggest RAAF base . I have been in plenty of cockpits! I just recently in April went in the JQ cockpit, and in January in the virgin cockpit. The virgin pilot's are so much nicer, and actually appreciate you being there compared to JQ, who try and get you out, not a great image. But must of been a bad hair day! I do love the starting sound of the A320! But those CFM56-7B engines are more better when on idle, and taking off! Cheers Brad.
