Location
Somewhere over the North Atlantic, (almost) on track F of the NAT on this day.
Participants
Me (wolkenjaeger), 11 other crew members and 178 passengers. Well, at the end only 4 people were knowing that we tried to get a geohash.
Plans
Well, I learned about geohashing a few days ago in connection with the 2012-02-26_global. So I prepared myself to chase the airways for geohashes from our flight from Zürich to New York.
Expedition
What a great day to go flying. Clear skys and a great crew. That's the recipe for a successful and fun commercial flight.
As we don't recieve any good GPS signals in the cockpit (Faraday Cage?) I had to check the route manually for any geohashes enroute, which is quite some work as we are crossing a graticule in around 10 minutes average. Second problem is a pure air safety one: we just cannot go off our IFR flightplan.
