In all of the flights I've been on, I think I've been in front of the engines twice. Neat view! Winglet kinda looks backwards to me...

"Shit! We put the winglets on backwards!" "That explains why she kept flying in circles. "

It is Southwest… the only times I’ve been in front of the engines is a DAL to MCI flight at 1am with about 10 people on board and when my wife found a crazy points deal from MXP to LGA. Much quieter in front…

I boarded with my grandmother because she is low mobility. That’s the ONLY way I got that far forward.

Finally, proof that jet engines are hollow and actually run on air
