Gently Back to Earth
RH says goodbye to the 757 and 767 after 29 months of Atlantic crossings, favorite layovers, and lessons from both the flying seat and the bunkie seat. From a final 757 landing in Dublin to his first—and last—767 landing at Heathrow, he shares the stories behind the logbook and what it means to bring a big airplane gently back to Earth.
