Great Views From Above

What a sight...

Alaskan landscape from a seaplane.

When I decided to write a book about my job as an airline pilot, I knew one thing for certain. I knew I’d start the book with an invitation for readers to send me their own favorite photographs from the window seat, Mark Vanhoenacker wrote on atlasobscura.com.

This was important to me for a couple of reasons. One of the pleasures of being an airline pilot is the chance to interact with individual travelers. I find myself talking with passengers in airport terminals (people often chat to crew in elevators, I’ve noticed), on rental car shuttles, and of course on the airplane itself, Vanhoenacker added.
