photos inflight and things we've seen

my personal collection keeps growing. Thought this would be a great place to start a topic everyone who fly takes pictures start sharing them.
I got into aviation because it was fun now I'm stuck cause I need the money ;-))))

If helicopter flying would be difficult, engineers would do it.

Wow, that's a nice cockpit pic. BTW, is the angle of attack indicator something used to avoid stall, or it has nothing to do with it? in that case, what is it for? 
You see, I usually fly planes which speed is much less, at your maneuvering speed I would be already be....say....wingless.......
I give that landing a 9 . . . on the Richter scale.

Angel of attack is something fixedwingish. We rotorheads have a lot more angels. We need them, really. ;D

Which water? I don’t see any. Only condensed water. Airborne fog.

I wouldn't say your over the weather.  Your just high enough to find a place of less weather.  But that is just my opinion.  Great pics.
WOW I did that!

sweet fliboye! (in the first pic guys, go back and look at his FL)
The three best things in life are a good landing, a good orgasm, and a good bowel movement. The night carrier landing is one of the few opportunities in life to experience all three at the same time. - Unknown

Great pictures, really cool views (lol at the airborne fog comment). My mom also told me that when she got that trip to USA and flew in a 747 over the atlantic and over the clouds it was simply breathtakingly beautiful, and that there was a lot of water between the two continents lol.
