[@cody7068]

I’ve been around planes for a large portion of my life. I was a ramp agent for American and more recently became first officer for United after I switched careers (my intent was to always go to flights school and acquire my ATP License). These planes are strong, very strong. They do testing all the way from throwing dead birds into the Turbines, spraying ungodly amounts of water at full throttle all the way to testing the wings, the wings on some of these Aircraft can flex and touch tip to tip without breaking, this would never happen in reality though and is done in a controlled environment by the Aircraft Manufacturer. Also, Sure you’ve heard this before but, turbulence is nothing to worry about and some you should grow to enjoy, it’s the only eventful experience during the whole flight in my opinion. While everyone is freaking out in the cabin during turbulence and you start to get nervous just remember, the pilots in the flight deck are either reading the newspaper, taking their allowed Nap, drinking coffee, reading a book or having a conversation during the turbulence, they’re not worried. There are approximately 100,000 flights per day in the world, almost 37,000,000 globally a year, Billions upon billions of miles flown in commercial aviation history and billions of flights over time. You know how many have crashed? 1,500… such a minuscule number comparatively.

I also spent hours flying around PNG through the beautiful Highlands mountains and awesome coastlines on little Cessnas, Islanders, Twin Otters and many more. I had many friends who were flight attendants with Air Niugini and the service was always great. Pity you didn't spend any time in PNG as its a unique beautiful country with a hugely rich aviation history and some brilliant flying on some of the most remote hairiest shortest air strips in the world.

The second leg I had was on a B738 which offer the exact same hardware (the front Biz were the same seats as well). They even had 3 options for economy as breakfast which was insane!

Hi Noel, thanks for flying my National Airline Air Niugini (PX), and for the favorable review, I was pleasantly chuffed, although we have had our challenges, PNGeans still take great pride in our "Big Birds" as we call them.In the spirit of fun a few clarifications on some points you made; the fabulous choice and variety in in-flight entertainment on PX flights is a priority marketing point that directly influences the choice of PNG passengers over its competitor airlines. I can recall so many occasions my colleagues deciding on flights for conferences in Manila (and with ticket prices being outrageous but similar) based largely on the availability of the latest The Rock movie, ridiculous i know... LMAO'd at your whispering about the Oz businessman drinking spirits at the break of dawn on the flight, that is so very common, he would have infact started in the international departure lounge bar if not at home on waking up, that's how some of these long term expat Port Moresby aka POM residents survive in PNG to begin with, by being semi permanently inebriated/obliterated. LOL! But rest assured as all alcohol is free on PX flights we PNGeans back from Manila conferences also get plastered/hammered but usually on our flights into POM. Lastly you missed the beautiful view on takeoff of the coastline around Port Moresby, for all my countrys faults you can never fault the beauty of a true Pacific Island country geography!

Hi Noel, I enjoyed this video as always. However, what puzzles me, if you "grew up" with the 767, as I did with the IL-18, why don't you explore the 767-paradise, Japan ? Three airlines still operate a considerable fleet of 767s, and if you reserve your seat a half a year in advance and plan your trip carefully, you can make deals of 60-70 EUR one way on any of the route network of ANA, JAL or Air Do. The 767s are here for not much longer, since ANA and JAL are now renewing their fleets at an alarming speed. Come over and see my small Aviation Museum at my home in Yokohama and we have a beer (or two) together and you can also enjoy the unmatched beauty and nature of this country.

Noel, I understand you're feeling about the 76, that is how I feel about the 747. the first flight I was ever on was a Northwest airlines 747, in 2005 I was just 5 years old and it is oldest memory. This began my love of aviation, and by complete coincidence I just received my new delta airlines credit card, which so happens to be made out of recycled metal from that very same plane, I have every intention of keeping this card forever as a piece of my love of aviation, long after it has expired and been replaced.

Oh welcome to Brisbane, what a surprise. I'm not far away on the Gold Coast, northern part. Look forward to seeing what you're doing in next vids. Enjoyed this one very much

[@noelphilips]

Thanks! 😃

[@enochyadabut2850]

Thank you so much Noel for flying my National flag carrier❤. If only you could stay a little bit I would show you around Port Moresby.❤

Wow the Singapore airport is gorgeous! Really emulates the country so well. And that waterfall/ rainforest room! Omg! The USA could never lol

Great to see an Air Niugini video as I grew up in Port Moresby and watched planes from Jackson's Airport over many years.👍✈

Our first wide body experience was on an AA 767 from DFW to HNL. Flying coach they had 2-4-2 config. My wife and I were totally comfortable at a window and aisle

First ever flight I had was on a Freddie Laker de Havilland Comet, it was lilac coloured and I thought it was fantastic. Distant memories.

[@greggclark2975]

Love your videos! Any chance when you're on the planes you could do a walk through the cabins to show the different classes?

[@nahte583]

So cool to see you travel to my home town of Brisbane :) Can't wait to see what kind of flying you do in Australia :D

[@noelphilips]

Awesome, I am glad you enjoyed it.

My dad was part of the 41st Infantry Division WW2 jungle training in Australia from Montana ! Started from Port Moresby then into hell. Heroes all.

The Dunder Mifflin shirt is the best part of the video for sure

I also love the 767 I Fly Delta often Delta one and premium select. When they did the refresh on the 400s look really good entertainment is really good.

[@socaxle]

I find the interesting flights you have. I have not been to Pap New Guinea, Australia, New Zealand but I love traveling to Europe

[@steveb1972]

Ooh definitely prefer stairs! Love seeing the outside of the plane upclose! Blessings from Brum Noel!👍🏼

[@noelphilips]

[@DorotaKGB]

These videos're so therapeutic, they help me get rid of my fear of flight 🥰 thank you

[@noelphilips]

I'm so glad!

I don't know if they still do the route, but a few years ago I flew QANTAS from Port Moresby to Cairns in what I think was a little twin prop Dash 8 Q200 with the 2 x 1 seating. It was bizarre walking out onto the tarmac and on to a prop plane for an international flight.

[@mexiwi5124]

Qantaslink used to fly the Dash 8-400 CNS-POM 2

[@wendt4506]

I totally get your excitment in flying cool old planes. My most memorable flight was on an old Finnair plane where there were ashtrays in the arm rests.
