The first airplane flight I ever took was one from San Francisco to Los Angeles on Pacific Southwest Airlines (PSA). I was going on a job interview. It was 47 years ago. I took an aisle seat and tried to forget I was up in the air. I was scared.
I am not sure how many flights I have taken as of today, but I have moved closer to the window so I can look out, and hopefully see things from the air that I have never seen before.
The photo above was taken on a flight back to San Francisco (SFO) from Dublin. Those flights go over Greenland. It was a clear day and the earth appeared to be a series of white circus tents.
One thing you notice is that Greenland is not green and Iceland is not just covered in ice.
I actually plan flights (especially connecting flights) over certain areas during the day so I can see them from the air. It does not always work. I planned a flight from Verona Italy to Paris (CDG) for early afternoon because the flight goes right over Mount Blanc. It was the cloudiest, rainiest day over Switzerland. Darn.
