Hello there IFC, today I’ll be flying on Korean Air’s 777-300ER to participate in the great Incheon Fly-in! Usually I end up flying on Aeroflot’s A330 or Aurora’s A319, but for a change, why not fly the 777, that too in an active atc environment! A long flight but good work and even more fun with fellow flyers participating in the same route
