What a great thing to do. I really want to do a long haul sometime. My older brother is a real life 787 captain for Virgin. I’ve managed to fly along side him a couple of times in the sim with live air traffic. He texts me and tells me his flight number just before he takes off and I find him on the ground at Heathrow and we take off together. Him in the real world, me in the sim. Its quite crazy.

Anyway, enjoy your long haul flight.

I used to use this livery. But stopped because of those ugly green things on the wings. Is it like that in real life? I can’t find photos of the plane on Google that show the top of the wing.
