Our plane, an Airbus A340 belonging to SAS (Scandinavian Airline Systems), awaiting us at Seatac. The flight is non-stop to Copenhagen, taking about 9 hours or so.
What a happy looking bunch we are! Where's all that "pre-departure" excitement. After all, we've all made it through security by now :-)
Signe with her back to the camera, then Tom, Joey is behind Tom, then Barabara, Jim and Annette. Karyn is seated with the red jacket, and to her right is Bev.
The flight left Seattle at 7PM and flies NE over Canada and Hudson Bay, Greenland, north of Scotland thence over Bergen (Norway) and into Copenhagen. As we flew north, the sunset became later, but flying east makes it earlier. This photo was taken about 9:15PM Seattle time, and is somewhere over (probably) Saskatchewan, Canada.
About the same location as the photo above, but this one just shows the lakes over which we were flying. I didn't realise how many big lakes there are in this part of Canada.
Closer yet to sunset.

The sun about to set.
