Hi Stefaan,
Very nice report and a very good looking scenery as well.
You were not so far off from me, as I flew to Tahiti during the night. Unfortunately it was already dark on arrival and I am already on my way to Santiago de Chile at the moment. I am using the nice looking PJ-TBJ
But I still have the problem that the autobrakes pops out upon touchdown. A little bit annoying..

Nice report Stefaan. Nice looking aircraft!
Hey CB, I have a cure for your autobrakes...Don't use them, your feet are for braking!

Your feet are for breaking, but only if you fly for Fred Flinstone Cargo lines.
