McCarran Airport Las Vegas


One of the hubs of Southwest Airlines. Although Southwest doesn't have any Boeing 737-800, but who cares?! lol








Crossing The New Zealand's South Island



It was a nice flight, as it is the start of autumn in New Zealand, and it was late in the afternoon that I departed from a small airport in Greymouth in west NZ, flew over the mountains and of course Mount Cook, then I landed at Christchurch in east NZ.




Flying over deep valleys, while mountains are surrounding you was a nice experience, specially in Air New Zealand's ATR-72.
ATR-72 is a very smooth airplane, it was a pleasure that I like it to happen again soon!

Zurich Airport




Swiss A-320 over Zurich Intl. airport.










Over Alps

From Genova, Italy to Geneva Switzerland

It was a breathtaking trip as I was thinking already. As long as it flies over Alps, it is amazing. I departed from Genova airport near Mediterranean see flew to Geneva while Alps were on my right. It was a relatively short flight but beautiful.




Airbus A-318 or "Baby Airbus" was a bit tricky in taking off but so smooth while you level off.












Alps on my right!













Final approach on Geneva airport.

At Anchorage Airport


Alaska Airlines 737-800 at Anchorage airport.

Bon Jovi


More than 26 years in business, sold more than 100 million albums, numerous critically welcomed albums,... This is the band that I really like their music and appreciate.

Richie Sambora's Daughter



Ava Sambora, daughter of Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora, with her mom Heather Locklear attending a fashion show. Richie sang the instrumental song called "Ava's Eyes" for her. She kinda looks like Richie to me.







They named a street in New Jersey in an honor to him 2 months ago, called Richie Sambora Way!

My parents left early this morning with a BMI Airbus A-321 to London. They will switch plane there to Chicago to a United Boeing 747-400 . I simulated the whole thing and it was so much fun!

Innsbruck




One of my favorite places to fly above. Innsbruck is located in western Austria in northern Alps. The airport has a unique place at the end of a valley, very exciting to land on.







Dash 7 at foggy Innsbruck airport. Innsbruck is famous as a ski resort in Austria and Europe. I'd like to visit there in future.

One Last Breath


One of my favorite songs from the 2000s. Great guitar theme, I won't get tired of playing it time and time again. Amazing song, amazing lyrics, everything's cool about this:


by Creed

Please come now I think I'm falling
I'm holding to all I think is safe
It seems I found the road to nowhere
And I'm trying to escape
I yelled back when I heard thunder
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it let me say
Let me sayHold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
That maybe six feet
Ain't so far downI'm looking down now that it's over
Reflecting on all of my mistakes
I thought I found the road to somewhere
Somewhere in His grace
I cried out heaven save me
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it let me say
Let me sayHold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
That maybe six feet
Ain't so far down
Sad eyes follow me
But I still believe there's something left for me
So please come stay with me
'Cause I still believe there's something left for you and me
For you and me
For you and meHold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking

For All Lovers Around The World

My favorite songs from John Denver:


Annie's Song



You fill up my senses like a night in a forest
Like the mountains in springtime like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses come fill me again
Come let me love you let me give my life to you
Let me drown in your laughter let me die in your arms
Let me lay down beside you let me always be with you
Come let me love you come love me again
[ strings ]
Let me give my life to you come let me love you come love me again
You fill up my senses...



Dreamland Express


I caught a ride on the Dreamland Express last night
I was sailing on an ocean of blue
And right there by my side, much to my surprise, was you
I said, come over here baby, let me look in your eyes
Let me see the very heart of you
And I couldn’t believe it, TO conceive that my dream would come true
Cause you said, hey there sweet daddy, everything is alright
for miles there’s not a telephone line
There’s not a soul to disturb us dont be nervous
Just come and be mine
You said, let me be the end of your rainbow
Let me be the stars up above
Let me be the one that you long forgotten
Let me be the one that you love, oh, oh
Let me be the one that you love
And now it’s four in the mornin’,Honey I can’t sleep
I can't seemed to get you out of my mind
I keep tossin’ and turnin’, I’m yearnin’ for the sun to shine
I’d like to send you a ticket on the Dreamland Express
And take you far away with me
I’ve got a vision of heaven and you livin’ there with me
Let me be the end of your rainbow
Let me be the stars up above
Let me be the one that you dream of baby
Let me be the one that you love, oh, oh
Let me be the one that you love
Let me be the end of your rainbow
Let me be the stars up above
Let me be the one that you dream of baby
Let me be the one that you love, oh, oh
Let me be the one that you love


Leaving On A Jet Plane


All my bags are packed I'm ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin' it's early morn
The taxi's waitin' he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I tell you now, they don't mean a thing
Every place I go, I'll think of you
Every song I sing, I'll sing for you
When I come back, I'll bring your wedding ring
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
Guitar Solo
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time let me kiss you
Close your eyes I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times, I won't have to say
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh baby, I hate to go
Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

Take Me Home, Country Roads


Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains
Shenandoah River -
Life is old there
Older than the trees
Younger than the mountains
Growin’ like a breeze
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
All my memories gathered ‘round her
Miner’s lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine
Teardrops in my eye
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
I hear her voice
In the mornin’ hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And drivin’ down the road I get a feelin’
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, now country roads
Take me home, now country roads

How To Tell A Girl You Like Her?

Grrrr! One of the toughest points in many men's lives. You can have lots of girls who are your friends but you can't easily have that much of girl friends. I found a very practical and soothing article in Wikihow. It can be very effective if you try to use it. Never done that myself though! lol
