Count me as a "pro."

Since I am a geography geek (I suspect most FTers are), I am always trying to find out what feature is below the plane. It was aeasy, for example, to spot the striking Lake Tahoe from the air, but I hate having to ask a flight attendant what something is, only to get a shrug in response. The last time an announcement was done on a flight I was on was almost a year ago when the meteor crater in Arizona was announced. I take a lot of flights at night so I do not get to enjoy that often.
