Hi Barbara: My last flight as pilot/instructor was about 10 years ago. It was in a Cessna Caravan. amphibian at which time I did a water landing and later landed at the land base.
I recall it was a very fast AC with wheels up which kept me busy doing pre-landing drill on the downwind. Like you I now enjoy airliner travel particularly on a clear day whereby I draw creative inspiration from Nature’s fine art work on the Earth’s surface below. Do you share this view?
Bruce, I certainly do! I love to look at the passing terrain. I never understand why people with window seats lower the shade during daylight hours and miss the amazing spectacle that is happening outside. I’ve seen unforgettable views and taken some great photos through airplane windows.
Ode to the Air and Flight – and being creative
