Fantastic day for a stunning run round the outskirts of Stanley Park in Vancouver, BC Canada.
The early morning lent itself to gorgeous light and cooler temperatures before the crowds came out to play!

We were treated to an amazing light show on our way from Nairobi to London! The skies were literally electric that night! So what is it? Is it DANGEROUS?! (Note: strictly this isn't St. Elmo's Fire - that is another phenomenon also linked to highly charged, static atmospheres, but it is generally accepted and called this among aviation enthusiasts and pilots too!)

Hi and welcome to my endurance journey 2024!
How do you guys work out the refueling in the USA, since they work in pounds instead of kilos or metric tons?
It's converted to litres and kg for us!
What an amazing route! I’m glad I’m not the only one that tip toes around Geese 😂
I was scared for my life!!!
Stunning views
Looks like a nice early morning run. I’m surprised it was so quiet “people wise” until your latter part of your run. Apart from the views there were some interesting outdoor artwork you passed. Whilst I’m not “into” art in a heavy way I did like the “pail pouring yellow paint over a face”. I think its called, “Liquid Sunshine“ (by Michael Alfano), according to an internet page I viewed. Thanks for posting your Newark run.
Thank you so much! It really was a great morning run and I think it was so quiet because nobody else is stupid enough to be out running at 6am on a Saturday! (It was mid-morning according to my jet lag brain though!)
Hab ein guten Flug 😊
We started at the same time, I spotted myself (3:43) with my back to the camera scoffing food, I had a speaker in my bag so most people heard me before they saw me. It was a great event congrats on such a strong finish 💪🏻🏃🏻♀
Oh that's brilliant!! Yeah heard a few tunes from speakers across the day!
Superb video Helen. 🙂
Thank you!
Hi Helen this is Stephen I have a question for you as a first officer how do you help passengers who have a microphone notice from the doctor
I'm not sure I know what you mean Stephen?!
@@takeflightwithhelen no worries a microphone notice indicates that this traveller is disabled and it allows pilots to communicate with them
That was great to see a whole flight thru a captain's eyes. TYVM for producing it for us. :-)
Hello Helen. bit different to a DH8 at Southampton EGHI, best regards from WFS refuellers
Very impressive organisation. I never eat the 2nd meal before landing as a passenger westbound - it makes me sleepy and lethargic
You know and understand your body! That's great!
"And um", dang that looks so boring 😪
I remember seeing this in a similar flight over the Gulf of Mexico back in early 80's flying from Houston to New Orleans. It's very beautiful from that perspective 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
I have only flown 3 times and believe it or not 2 out of the 3 i had either a female pilot F.O or both also i had the absolute pleasure to meet them
Excellent 👍 ( Please disregard the negative comments from critics ) Thank you for sharing this with us 🙏❤️
Very Cool x
Well, Helen, this was a pleasant way to begin my day. I just turned 78 on June 3rd. Looking back, I've come to realize that curiosity has been the dominant sensation in the full and rewarding life that I've been blessed with. I suspect that you are under that same spell. Don't fear getting distracted on occasion!! Your life experience and thought processes will weed out what doesn't fit. "Today is the first day of the rest of your life". Have a good one.
Thank you so much for your kind words!
wow!! terrific content :)
Thank you!
Fantastic video very much appreciated ❤👍👍
Thanks!
Hello, Copilot Helen! Welcome Copiloto Helen! Meet me travel to Brazil, City Rio of Janeiro. Meet your Brazilian men beautiful, intelligent, romantic and very sexy. You are beautiful woman pilot and very sexy cockpit BOEING 777-300ER British Airway Flight Houston for London.
Very impressed. Loved the ums etc. Well done!
I just chat to camera - not bothered about my "ums"! glad you love them haha!
Sorry but some of the tires looked horrible. I would have changed at least three tires just on the right side alone.
That crossed my mind as well
You wouldn't have them on your car!....I think there's 12 on the MLG so you can get away with a bit of baldness here and there......
Sincere question...I thought 3 stripes was first-officer. What am I missing?
Many foreign airlines utilize the following…..1 stripe for 2nd Officer, 2 for Junior First Officer, 3 for Senior First Officer, and of course 4 stripes for the Captain.
@@ATRFLYER Thank you for the reply...I learned something new.
@@wcottee In Europe this is a common principle, and at the beginning of the career the first officers wear 2 stripes, and when they get 1500 flight hours they start to wear 3 stripes.
@@mikep9604 Thank you for the reply...
Hi! So it depends on the airline. Some you get to senior first officer once you gain 1500 hours, others it with a certain amount of years' service, and with others it's when you have passed your command assessment awaiting command (as in my previous airline). My current airline it's after 4 years continuous service. So it's not one answer here!
777-200
I like your style Helen, particularly because it's apparent you have not adopted the superior attitude so prevalent with BA pilots.
Thank you - but my hairstyle is a lot better now!! haha
Great video. You are a natural. Would love to watch a video of how you got to where you are now, and of course more videos like this!
Thanks! Perhaps I'll do that - very new on this CZcams thing despite this video being old now!
WOOW How old is this lady,, looks so young,,
It was 2018 and I've changed a bit since then! Laughing at my hair! 🤣. I'm 44 now (2024) so 38 in this video!
Friend of mine bangs the engine cowl several times with his fist. The idea being that if someone has left a spanner or whatever in there it will rattle and he will hear the vibration. He says over 20 years he has found one spanner...
oh my goodness!
Wow I flow on G-YMMG a few months ago! Great Video Helen
Thank you!
Stripes on the shoulder confusion, I thought a First Officer had 3 stripes?
There is a difference between Europe and the USA. In the US first officers wear 3 stripes already at the beginning of the career. But in Europe it is a common principle that at the beginning of the career the first officers wear 2 stripes, and when they get 1500 flight hours they start to wear 3 stripes (and then can be called a senior first officer).
Lovely... but try to work on your "and um"... it's a bit distracting. Consider getting a lapel mic. It will greatly improve your video production.
You are a pilot?
Oh shut up Spielberg.
Good job. I didn’t know BA was allowing social media posts on their operation.
Congratulations Helen, Well Done !
Do you have LinkedIn?
Thanks for share and the nice report...happy landings
I own BigFeat Events, we also put on a 50k trail run in Dorset, BigSea. I watched this to be a little bit nosey and see how this event was as I'd seen it advertised. When you mentioned pilot, I suddenly thought I may have met you. Through Aimee in Botley? If that is you, that's a weird coincidence and if it's not, then congrats on your run, it looked great 👏🏼
Yes that's me! I'm a friend of Aimee! What a coincidence!
Hi Helen
czcams.com/video/8Sh7Pr1OkXs/video.htmlsi=IA7YAgLoH0WwE7Ru Alexander Dennis Bus introduction 🙂
Crikey, actual paper paperwork! I miss that! When did BA go digital?
Yeah it's been digital a while now!
would join the mile high club with u
Brilliant
Great video. When you arrive at the aircraft in this video, it's already powered up. Who typically starts it up from cold and dark, the ground engineers? Thanks
It’s never really powered down. Will usually be left with engineers on external power and taken over in the same way
asarsealex is right - very rarely powered down and it's taken over by the engineers
Finally a in depth pilot channel about the 777
Not really. There are a lot of VLOG’s about operational flying of the 777 on CZcams.
I don’t know how I even got here, but glad I did. You put a smile on my dial Helen. Well done.🎉
Expecting more like this video
Keep going you are doing a great job
Love the details! It’s lovely to see the processes and the insights into a flight!
Genuine question - were you worried at all? Or perfectly normal?!
Not worried at all!
Wow this is amazing isn’t it? So beautiful and well done for capturing it!
You look different Helen , filmed a while back ? Great video 👍
I should read the description more carefully..2018 😅
Great recap! I had such a good time at the marathon. My first London.
