Some of the coolest things I've seen from a plane:
An impact crater from a meteorite strike over the outback of Australia.
Coming in over icebergs as we landed at a Chilean military base on King George Island off the coast of Antarctica.
Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.
The Grand Canyon and the Rockies.
And one of the coolest things was flying Cincy to LA and passing over my aunt's ranch in Colorado. I spotted the Sand Dunes National Park, and she lives in a town directly to the west of that park that has a distinctive capital letter D in painted rocks on a hillside. I spotted the D, then followed the roads nearby out to her ranch which has several white buildings at the base of another hill. Once I spotted her ranch, I called her on my wife's cell and told her to go outside and look at the plane coming overhead. I told her we were on it. She went outside and looked up to see the plane we were on flying over her ranch. I thought that was really cool.
