From the cockpit of MSN2 /photo/1 7 hour flight confirmed by Airbus in the link above "Our Captain is happy with the flight and the #A350 XWB, proud to carry the first passengers during this 7h long ELF." Thanks Jkkw for sharing those tweets and this time you were faster than XWB or may be he was so kind to let you win............. Either way, that's something ticked of my bucket list . On a side note, I would like to thank everyone on this board (there are too many individuals to list!) for all the information, videos, pictures and jokes that are shared. It is what makes this board great. Back on topic, here's a few more tweets from Airbus; A picture of the business cabin, is it me or is that Patrick Du Che (Flight test engineer on the A350's first flight) sitting in the seat behind? /photo/1 A quick cockpit video vine.co/v/Mpv22aZOJBKAnd a picture of the 3 video channels available on Airbus Airlines, Camera 1, Camera 2 and map. /photo/1

Note the sensor sticking up to the left of the girl with the laptop. Perhaps monitoring cabin pressure, temperature, noise etc. with a full compliment of passengers?
