You cannot see the full track on this but this was a first for me. In all the trip I have had to Asia this is the first time I flew east then went right over the North Pole. We came into Asia way up north of Siberia like a B52 in a cold war nuke attack movie. Straight down over Irkust then to Beijing and then south to Hong Kong.
Greg had said why they go this route but I forgot why. I noticed the flight that took off on the next day did the more traditional route to just the north of Alaska.
BTW we kept GPS even over the pole. I thought GPS would not work above a certain latitude?
