This report was a report of a flight that I want so much then I conquest.
READ ALL IS A GOOD REPORT..
I live in Rio de Janeiro
One of my desires was to fly in Varig`s 777, but I have 16 years old and is very difficult to fly to another country, then until July of last year I didn`t have chance to fly in this aircraft because Varig only use them for international flights, but in JULY 2003 my father that works in Varig`s how flight coordenator told me that Varig was going to use 777 in MAO( Manaus)(GRU-MAO-GRU) route, then how my father works in Varig more than 30 years I have free passages(business class) in domestic or international flights.
Then with this notice I told my father that I want to fly in the 777, but this trip was only have one day, this trip is only to fly in the 777 in the route MAO-GRU. The trip was in JULY 20, but the first problem of this trip is I have few days to take my passage until JULY 20, but all are resolved in the friday,then I have the passage to sunday...
Until this day I told to my father to try to talk with the pilot of this flight of 777 to me take off and land in cokpit, then he told to a lot of people,but he told me that I was only have the answer in Manaus Airport(MAO).
The route that I was planning is
ALL IN THE SAME DAY )(JULY 20)
GIG-BSB-MAO - MD-11 - PP-VQL (09:00 FROM GIG, stop in BSB then arrive in MAO at 13:00)
MAO-GRU - 777-200/ER - PP-VRB( 14:45 depart of MAO ,arriving in GRU at 19:00 )
GRU-GIG - 767-300/ER - PP-VOL (DEPART 20:30 OF GRU, arriving 21:30 in GIG)
This route was planning to this day, the time of flights are very next, but IF DIDN`T HAD DELAY, all could be very calm. But let`s start the report of this flight.
In JULY 20, I arrived at GIG airport at 07:00( GIG-BSB-MAO time of depart is 09:00). I saw the line of check-in, but how the line is very long and my father know many people in the airport I gave my passage to do the check-in inside one room in VARIG, but when I gave my passage, all the lights of GIG AIRPORT TURN OFF, and we stayed in a black out inside the airport. The airport has generator but didn`t have nobody turn on this quickly, this time was 07:30,and how the power of aiport turn off I couldn`t do my check-in and I was with my passage again in my hands.I stayed calm because had many time until 09:00( BUT I NEVER HAD THOUGHT THAT I WAS IN THIS SITUATION IN A AIRPORT ). But the time was going and now are 08:15, and I can see a long line in Varig`s check that nobody can`t do the check-in. Then I went to panoramic view of T2 of GIG and I saw PP-VQL(MD-11) the aircraft that I intend to fly until MAO to fly in the 777. PP-VQL(MD-11) was out the finger because didn`t have power to move the fingers, then the embarkment was going on buses until the aircraft. AT 08:35 the power of airport returned, then I had to decide:
1) At 08:35 the flight certainly was delayed, and to me didn`t lost the 777 in MAO, the MAX delay could be(01h40mins)
2) Because of the time to garrantee the flight in MAO, I could postpone my trip to another day, butin that day I thought that Varig only use the 777 in MAO route until the end of JULY...
Then I decide to go and try, I gave my passage to my father and he take my embark card, but the line of check-in was extremely big at 08:45, the line was until the other side of GIG airport, this fact make me feel scary I thought that the delay of flight could be more than I expect, but now is late and I had to count with my lucky. But at 08:50 when I entered in the embark area, I HAD ANOTHER SURPRISE THE POWER OF AIRPORT AT 08:55 TURN OFF AGAIN, in that moment I laught and I continuous in my way until the bus, that I took until the aircraft at 09:00... I was one of the firsts people inside the flight, that`s different embark in the aircraft out the finger. Bit inthe aircraft at 09:10 I was very troubled..... then the time was going and I was in my seat( 07L ), andin that moment was 10:10, in that moment the flight was delayed (01:10), then at 10:30 the crew close doors and the aircraft started her push-back.
My desire of fly in 777 in the moment of took off in GIG was far because the aircraft could have 01:40 of delay, but our flight is delayed 01:35 and I had to do the check in MAO yet.
But that`s ok I was flying in PP-VQL(MD-11) and the flight was going to do a stop in BSB before continue to MAO, in flight I told to the crew my situation and the crew want to desembark me in BSB, because they think that didn`t havetimeto take the flight in MAO, and I don`t have anywhere to go in MAO, but I told to the crew that I want to continue until MAO, and there decide, the crew told me that I could be the first person to desembark the aircraft in MAO, and they agreed to me land in the cockpit of aircraft in BSB, then at 12:00 I was in PP-VQL(MD-11)`s cockpit and we land in BSB airport, the land was fantasticand I was very happy to land in MD-11 cockpit, but in the land almost we have to take offagain, but the pilot land in that momentand I was in BSB.
At 12:40 the aircraft began the push back in BSB, then took off to MAO, then I stayed very happy because the flight won time in BSB, and the flight of 777 the time of depart was 14:45 in MAO and our flight are estimated in MAO at 14:18, then I returned to my seat because their I could have a quickly desembark. At 14:15 the flight was on finals on the runway, then we land and in the runway in my windows I saw in the finger of MANAUS AIRPORT the 777(PP-VRB) of Varig with cargo doors open, then I STAYED VERY HAPPY BECAUSE MY DESIRE OF FLY IN THE 777 in that moment are very near me, mythought in the moment that my aircraft
was in theway to MAO`s finger was:
"PP-VQL I LOVE TO FLY IN YOU, BUT NOW I EXPECT TO FLY IN THAT 777"
But the time are very small, we arrived at 14:23 in finger and the depart of 777`s flight was at 14:45, then I had another feeling that I will suceed.
When the aircraft open her door in MAO, there was a man and told my name asking tothe crew,then they told as I, and he told me to follow him, and hetold me that he was with my embark card in his hands, THEN I WAS FEELING THE MOST HAPPY PEOPLE IN THE WORLD WHEN I SAW MY EMBARK CARD TO FLIGHT OF 777 and it wasn`t necessary to do check-in in MAO. Then I asked what happened, they told me that my father called them to help me embark in 777 flight because my flight from was very delayed.
Then at 14:30 I took my embark card of the route MAO-GRU, when I saw my seat, I HAVE A BIG SURPRISE, I WAS IN 1A( THE FIRST CLASS OF VARIG`S 777). NOW I WAS VERY VEERY VERY VERY VERY HAPPY.
At 14:38 I entered in PP-VRB and I entenred laugh a lot,when I saw my seat I didn`t believe, I was going to told to a flight attendent when the man who gave me the passage told me to go to the cokpit, because the pilot agreed me took off and land in the cockpit of 777,I took my camera and go to the cokpit very happy. At 14:45 the aircraft began her push back and I was in 777`s cockpit, I was very happy and we arrived at runway, I saw the aircraft that I came from GIG and the pilot gave power for huge engines of 777, then we took off , I took a lot of pictures in cockpit, then a flight attendant enter in the cockpit to bring meto have launch, then I went and this Flight Attendant knew my history to stay there, and ask me a lot things, and introduce me to all flight attendants in the flight and gave me a tour inside the 777, I want to all galleys of PP-VRB and this was unforgetable. She gave me a pen and many candies.I was feeling how a hero inside the flight.
At 18:05 I saw the sunset inside the 777, we are estimated in GRU at 19:00. At 18:10 the Flight Attendant told me that I could come back to the cockpit to see the land, then I went in the moment. I have talked a lot with the pilots and took more pictures, and at 18:55 the flight of 777 was on finals in GRU, the runway shine a lot and I could hear:
-THREE HUNDRED(APROCHES MINIMUNS)
-ONE HUNDRED
-FIFTY
-THIRSTY
-TWEENTY
-TEN
IT WAS EXCITING......I LANDED IN 777 COCKPIT...
(PS)=IN this 777 I had the best flight until today of life
At 19:10 the aircraft arrived at finger, then I talked to all the members of crew and go out PP-VRB. I was in GRU airport and wasvery happy, and I couldn`t believe in what happened that day, I stayed at GRU for around 01h and at 20:20 I went to my last flight in that day, and that was the first time that I`ve been in a 767-300/ER(PP-VOL) too.
But in this days I was going to have onemore surprise..
At 20:35 the flight attendant started to talk with the passengers WHEN ALL THE LIGHTS OF AIRCRAFT TURN OFF,(PROBABLY AN APU PROBLEM),another black out in that day. But very quickly the crew resolved the problem and we took off GRU.
At 21:25 we are on finals at GIG, and the trip of JULY 20 was in the end, the aircraft now desembark in the finger and I went out PP-VOL andall in GIG at 21:35 are ok with all the power on.
This was an unforgetable flight I have VIDEOS AND PICTURES, IF SOMEBODY WANT THE PICTURES TAL TO ME.
The fligh attendant of 777 I have contacts until today with her, he gave mea card in christmans...
And I didn`t put all the details, but with this flight I think today that all can have a good final. THIS WAS THE BEST TRIP OF MY LIFE, ONE DAY AND THE BEST FLIGHT.
IN OCTOBER21 I did the same to flightin PP-VRA, BUT IN THIS DAY ALL OCURRIED OK......
THANK FOR EVERYBODY THATHELP ME IN THIS FLIGHT.......
