A fully position- and flight maneuver-annotated AA flight:
Through Portugal's first intense winter storm of the autumn, an American Airlines B787 takes off in heavy rain on the southbound runway at Lisbon airport to find blue skies across the Atlantic past the Avalon Peninsula of Canada's Newfoundland. This is followed by a scenic cruise past Cape Cod and east-central Long Island before crossing the New York Bight to the Jersey shore for the landing approach to Philadelphia International Airport, touching down minutes before the CBP inspection services open at noon for the day's international arriving passengers. Flight data, position indications, and select food and beverage service images accompany all stages of this trip.

Always good to see a Backpacktrot journey somewhere. Wish I could be in your position...

Thanks for your comment. I only wish I could find more time to gather and annotate the data of the few flights that I've been on to document them more thoroughly. :)
