A certain pilot took piano lessons from me before the tour started. I invited him to our concert in Madison Square Garden last Monday. He repaid me the favour by giving me a royal treatment on the way home tonight. I was allowed into the cockpit, and not only that - I stayed there the whole time.
It was unbelievable. The weather in New York was excellent and the takeoff was indescripable. It was simply fantastic to see the entire New York area from the cockpit as the plane rose higher and higher.
The moment when we passed over Greenland was also stunning. Beholding infinity across the misty horizon, with Venus extraordinarily bright in the sky above, the Aurora Borealis all over and the gargantuan icebergs far below was something I will never forget.
To top it all I had three incredibly hot stewardesses wait on me.
