My first time on one of these beasts and being a nervous flyer I was crapping myself. But the fact I had wanted to fly on one since I was just 5 years old (32 years ago) kinda helped overcome my stress. The power was just what I would of expected and then some. It was amazing being on something so big and heavy and feel it glide into the air at 190MPH with the roar of the engines. Was very lucky because we was meant to be flying on 4 x Cathay Pacific 777 300er's but our one in Hong Kong broke down.

The view at take off is amazing too in Hong Kong, it had to climb quite quickly. For what reason I am unsure.
