Those shots are great, what kind of camera lens combo are you using? It looks like a lot of zoom to get those angles and so close. But there is no window distortion? Are those even on passenger flights?
Also, the Hong Kong one, how old is it? It looks like it is missing a few buildings and quite a bit of fill in east of IFC2!

The IFC aerial was taken in 2007.

and that is why, even as a proud Swiss, I am more than happy that bank CEO's are slowing realizing that such lifestyle is absurd. I am also thankful for their customers who realize that the margins are way to high if a CEO can take a 20-something to party on a brand new plane.

No worries, i am very responsible 20 year old who loves flying. and CEO and bank(s) owner is my immediate family. We were returning from a family wedding. Not what you picture in the tv, but for FT sakes it's better to think as an sky party
(Never done anything like that)He is totally in right to move his plane as he wants. There's nothing bad as it is his own private jet and should not be judged.
