OT - 35,000 feet above the ocean
« on: August 04, 2005, 09:16:35 am »

Hi, can you hear me well??
Just crossing the Atlantic at 35,000 feet and at 500 mph as we speak, aboard a Lufthansa flight headed to New York. They provide broadband wireless internet aboard and it works great!
Cheers from somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic, west of Ireland and east of Newfoundland.

Amazing!  You must be getting close to Greenland.  It's beautiful to see from the air.
