Hey IFC! So today @snoman’s BA Retirement Sendoff Event took place and I flew from London Heathrow to Los Angeles, CA. Here are a few pictures from the 10+ hour flight west (and my first long haul flight) I tried to give them a retro edit with the exception of the amazing Golden Moon, which is my first attempt at catching the moon.

Sorry that I couldn’t attend, My mom really had to pick this day to go to IKEA, AND I really wanted to fly 747 in a group

Thanks! I don’t think it’s too bad considering it’s my first time trying to catch it 😂
