I'm aboard Japan Airlines Flight 6. JAL is one of the airlines that outfitted many of its long haul airliners with live Internet service, thanks to Boeing's substantial investment in the satellite-based technology. Unfortunately Boeing announced that they'll terminate service at the end of this year, marking a giant step backwards in human progress.
Two kids are sitting near me, and they've been quite animated the whole trip. Thus sleep will have to wait. There's a Japanese gentleman sitting one row back, and occasionally, rarely, he visits mom and the kids. He's the father I guess. He sleeps just fine while mom handles the tykes.
This little glimpse into Japanese airborne household life brought to you by Boeing and JAL, live as it happens. I'll order some shochu now. Maybe that'll work. Kids are great, except when they're not your relations.
Hi, KK!
