I was chatting on Jeran's channel about the availability of wifi on aircraft and noticed a comment that it only works over land.  

Perhaps that is true for some airlines but we have world wide coverage of wifi and the satellite phone through Swift Broadband.  Here is their coverage map.

We use multiple systems as there are faster systems in different regions and the aircraft will automatically lock to the fastest satellite,  however SwiftBroadband is the fall back when the others drop out and works everywhere.

Also a shot of the moon enroute.  The camera does not do it justice as it looked bright and clear as it rose from the East.
