I asked the cabin crew again if I could visit the flight deck after my flight home landed (my first flight on an A320neo) and they were more than happy to oblige!

They weren't rushing their turnover, so the first officer was happy to welcome me in, let me sit, and we talked planes for a while. I explained that I was still new to aviation, but I find everything about it *very cool*. Unfortunately, I just kept repeating "ugh, this is so cool" over and over in my excitement. He asked me what my favourite plane is, and of course I had to say the Super Guppy.

He reached up to turn on the cockpit annunciator and I went "Oh, the christmas lights!" and he went "Ah. You already know that trick, then." He sounded pretty disappointed at that 😅 he said that there's not much else that he could show me while the plane was on the ground, to which I said "I mean you could make the plane go pull up, pull up, I guess?" and he said "yeeeeahhh I probably don't want it to make that sound though 😬"

At this point, the captain walked in and I apologised for stealing his seat. He said that it was fine, and joked that I could fly them home while he takes the night off in Inverness.

The first officer threw away the printed communications and then I went "Actually... Is it okay if I keep that, please?" and he passed it over to me! I have no idea how to read it, but it's cool to have.

I won't be flying again until October and it'll probably be an A319/A320 again, but I'm looking forward to it! Sorry for yapping so much about it too, haha. Just a bit excited about getting to sit in a flight deck.
