Window 100 times out of 100.

I am a geography and plane geek. I want to look out.

Used to be myself. On our way back from a trip back east, we went cheap and chose one of those "go the wrong direction before going in the right direction" flights. So landed in Hotlanta. Sun was shining on the side of the plane I was on. It was hot. Like an oven. I thought it was the sun. It wasn't. It was the plane. Dude in front of me on an old piece of shit 737 reclined all the way back as far as possible so I could draw a picture on his head. 6 hours of that. Sweating, irritable, baking like a potato the entire way and this fucker fell asleep in my lap the second he hit the seat and didn't move until we landed.

THAT experience turned me into an aisle guy. I'll never do a window ever, ever, ever again. I almost violated FAA rules on that flight.

How long ago was that? The amount of recline allowed continues to decrease, which is fine with me. Though I haven't had to deal with that in a while since I usually end up in an exit row/leg room coach/business class where it doesn't matter.

Why I like to look out the window, CSB time:
Flying back from Qatar in May through Istanbul was an overnight flight from Doha to IST connecting to my flight to DC. (I love this flight since it functions as a west bound redeye where I can sleep for 8 hours, land at noon in DC and be back on east coast time)

I snooze a little on the DOH-IST flight and wake up as the sun starts to rise. I look out the window and see... mountains. And in the distance can't quite tell if it's the Mediterranean or haze. I pull up flight aware to see where I am, which is right around the Syria-Turkey border. Just beautiful looking out.







And that seems to be right about where the earthquake hit.
