My first time on this route when I flew from New York's JFK to Tokyo. From Chicago, my regular base, we don't fly the polar route to fly to Japan. Go to the photo gallery for somepictures.

Over The Pole To The Orient

Over the Pole to the Orient
On silver wings we fly;
America fades behind us as
We head for Canadian sky.

Over the pole to the Orient
And Canada's soon below;
The sun sits low in the western sky
And casts a blood-red glow.

Over the Pole to the Orient
Across the Arctic Sea;
Below is nothing but snow and ice
As far as the eye can see.

Over the Pole to the Orient
And Russia is soon in our sight;
Siberian steppes for a thousand miles
Reflecting a dazzling white.

Over the Pole to the Orient
And nothing but mountains below;
To the far horizon and back again
All covered with milky snow

Over the Pole to the Orient
And the sun has dropped out of sight;
The Northern Lights now fill the sky
They dance through the Arctic night.

Over the Pole to the Orient
We're over the Sea of Japan;
We start our final approach and then
There's nothing to do but land.

Over the pole to the Orient
Our journey has come to an end;
Next day we'll fly away home so we
Can do it all over again!
