That wiggle is the Automatic Crew Waking System or ACWS.........

Its always a good sign if your pilots are awake just before landing.....

What a monster aeroplane :eek

How different air travel has become. When I was 11 flying trans-atlantic with my mom I asked on each flight I was on to see the cockpit and each time I was allowed up front with the pilots. One time my mom never saw me, was up there for pretty much the whole flight LAX to Amsterdam.


Ain't life Grand? Treat it that way.
