First Flight

So, about 15 minutes after takeoff we're closing in on our cruising altitude. 

I really wasn't expecting that much thrust. The accelleration was something.

I'm at the back of the plane, seat 17A in a smallish Embrarer 14something(?). It's kind of loud because of the engines, but overall I don't mind too much, I was able to observe the turbines spinning up (I really wish I could make a Battlestar reference here, but they really DO spin up) and I can see the flaps on the port wing.

More to come as exciting things happen.
