Alvin's 747 Story
“I was a little young kid when I first stepped onto a Qantas B747-400. The view from the window - the image of the wing against the breathtaking and serene sunrise - as the Queen of the Skies flew me to Sydney was just simply breathtaking, and it remains vividly etched in my memories.
I got the opportunity on this same flight to be in the jumpseat for the landing into Sydney. That experience formed my ambition to be an airline pilot and it has kept me going whilst I navigated the long and arduous route to get there.
I will probably never be able to fly a B747 ever in my career, but having flown on one was simply a game-changer and the best gift of my life. I am now a Captain on the A320 for Jetstar Asia.
Thank you for the beautiful memories and farewell, Queen of the Skies. You will be sorely missed.”
