Like a small dream ... a nice dream ... it did happen ... I did fly in a cockpit of a commerical flight ... in the flight UNITED AIRLINES 359 ... on my way from DALLAS to LA ... the airplane was a BOEING 777 ... 
... mmmmm ... actually I didn't phisically go there ... but the pilot did one of the coolest thing I have ever seen in a commercial flight ... he diverted the FLIGHT - TOWER radio to one of the channels available to the passengers ... really cool ... after Septmber 11 ... I didn't think anythinglike this could happen .... the flight was really interesting ... probably the coolest I ever had ... we passed thru the TOWER of Dallas ... Albuquerque ... Phoenix ... SoCal (Southern California) and LA ... at the begin I didn't understand anyhing of what was going on ... but after few minutes I kind of understood the dictionary ... and I learned a lot of things ... like that not all the planes are using the same radio frequency ... but few of them ... I guess 6 - 10 of them ... they really say ROGER when they close a communication ... and if a plane finds a choppy route ... the pilot asks to go lower or upper ... and most of the time ... the tower doesn't really have a clue if routes above and below are choppy or not ... and in the communications they repeat the numbers of channels, routes at least 2 times to be sure they got it right ... and the speed approaching the airport is between 220 and 300 knots ... at least this is what they used yesterday ... yesterday approaching the LAX an other flight has medical emergency ... was the flight UNITED 77 ... the TOWER gave priority to the flight ... really a cool experience. The funniest conversation was definitely the one of a AMERICAN AIRLINE flight on the ground in DALLAS ... the tower gave the runway code ... and the pilot didn't get it ... the tower repeated ... the pilot didn't get it again ... so the tower told to the pilot something like "go straight and turn right at the second" runway ...
