Dessert For VIPs

Most of the food served onboard the aircraft is way above standard of commercial airlines, of course if compare with economy class. Even on some airline that i flew on first class, the food served not as marvelous as what been served onboard our BBJ.

This chocolate cake by Paind'or was uploaded onboard in Lebanon, surprised me that in Lebanon this luxury cake is available there.

Below is cheese cake from Riyadh itself, is it yummy?

Tips From VIP

One of the interesting part of flying with the VIP’s is, most of them very generous especially the princes and the princess. The more difficult the flight which is like long waiting time, long flight such as to United States which very tiring to the crew, most of the time will be well compensated.

I take this shot to give you some idea what I’m talking about. Before landing or sometimes after VIP disembark, cheif pilot will distribute the envelopes of tip money. It’s depend on luck as well, sometimes there is a VIP that always give good amount of tips however when he or she in a bad mood, all of the crew will be left without any envelope.

Wanna know maximum amount I received? Put your guess in the comment, I will let you know after 10 guessing.

Refueling the aircraft.

How many of us really knows how refueling of an aircraft is done and where is the fuel tank for an aircraft is located? Probably not many know as well what type of fuel aircraft used. Aircraft fuel which is basically a highest grade kerosene will be pumped up by the fuel truck using the hose connected to the refueling panel.



At the fueling panel which is normally on right hand side of the aircraft wing's on majority of the aircraft, there is a control switches that open and close shut-off valve for each tank that fuel have to be added to achived total amount of fuel required for flight.

Aircraft fuel tank in general devided in to 3 main area, inside both wings itself as well as under the fuselage which is inside the body of the aircraft itself. Fuel tank in the wings will be filled up first before the fuselage. If happen that you sit in the middle of the aircraft next to the wing area, take not that below your feet is where the fuel tank is located.
