Earlier today (Saturday), Pope Francis received a short tour of the cockpit of his American Airlines 777-200 aircraft, enroute from JFK to PHL. It’s a short video, but, pretty cool none-the-less, considering so few folks get to actually see the cockpit nowadays (let alone in flight).

If you’re curious about the route they took, you can see that here:

Interestingly enough, the Pope’s flight from JFK to PHL took 8 minutes longer than his flight from Joint Base Andrews (just outside of Washington DC) to JFK.

All in all, its interesting to follow Pope Francis’ travel. Personally speaking, I find it pretty cool that he was interested enough to visit the cockpit of his American Airlines’ 777-200 on the short flight from JFK to PHL!
