Shooting out the airplane window - what've you got?

[dipstik]

Taking artsy fartsy photos out of an airplane window is quite possibly the most cliche thing you can do with a camera. That said, I find these types of pictures to be oddly compelling, and I know everyone has a collection of them lying around.

So, what have you, maggots? You are a well-traveled bunch - let's see how much of the world we can cover.

I'll start:

De-icing in Manchester, NH:



Landing at Chicago Midway:

[JimmyCarter]

Somewhere over the Atlantic (Providence to Denver), polarizer on.

[kalisto]

Coming home...

[supermodel159]

Maldives...Clean Sensor, dirty windows.

[Tippster]

Last glimpse of Cuba:



Then this shit started on the plane:

[Lonnie]

New Zealand Some where over the southern alps....


Heli skiing in New Zealand


South Pacific, somewhere near fiji


Edit:

New Zealand Redux


Sydney, AU with my POS...

[kidwoo]

Um.....what the fuck?

[gholman12]

Don't remember which ocean this was over, but it was pretty damn cool.

[bio-smear]

I've got a few. Artsy might be pushing it though. I like that first one with the red nacelles against the red houses. Most are shot with the iPhone.

AlaskaAir flight to SoCal:


LAX shuttle bus:


Departing PDX at dawn for SLC:


Taxi at PDX:


Shot from 30D in Gorge:


Landing at Cascade Locks behind a friend:

not out the window but at the door. first time walking on a runway to get to the plane.

Then this shit started on the plane:

Half assed russian planes... I'll admit that shit was scary. The chick next to me, who I had never met, grabbed my arm hard enough to draw blood. It's a common occurrence I guess, you'd think they'd give a fucking warning.

Dog on a plane, taken somewhere in the Salmon River area of Idaho.

Yeah - gotta love the combination of shitty Antonov Air Conditioning and uber-Humid air.

To be fair the Boeing 737 that took me from Cancun to DC had fog coming out of the AC Ducts as well, just not nearly as much nor for nearly as long. That Cubana Jet got so foggy that you could not see across the aisle after 2 minutes... just like a 70's disco. I started mumbling "Ah, ah, ah, ah Stayin' Alive!" and the guy next to me choked on his free Havana Club rum (yes, served as we were taxiing.)

[dumpy]

Gotta ask, Tipp how did you end up in Cuba?
(FYI not a fed, just find the ban on traveling there intriguing and rather pointless considering all of the other horrid countries US citizens can travel to)

So that was just moisture filling the plane? Was any mention made of it after it started happening by the crew or did they just roll with it and let you figure it out on your own?

[smmokan]

Huahine, a small island in French Polynesia. This was taken from the plane while flying from Moorea to Huahine for leg two of our honeymoon.

[Todds]

Taken from a glider in Telluride

[Hutch]

St Barthelemy airport, FWI

[DeutschBag]

All crappy pics, but I'll add them.

Over the Pyrenees on a trip from Lisbon back to Munich


Tarn Lake somewhere in Austria (Venice to Munich flight)


Waikiki from a Blackhawk


GPS surveying over the center of the Big Island of Hawaii. Fun times!

[monkeywrenchMoose]

I'll play. Iphone pic over the Grand Canyon:

I looked at this three times before I figured out that the windows were not covered with an opaque green film. Pretty cool image.
