Not so much amazing as amusing, back in the 80's I flew from Boston to Dulles - I don't recollect the airline or many details, except that we never got very high and on the flight we flew over and I was able to clearly identify my apartment building in Quincy, where I was living at the time, the apartments in Connecticut where I lived at one time, the house in New Jersey where I grew up, and the house in New Jersey where my parents were living at the time. It was old home week.

nothing. absolutely nothing after the landing. the fog was so thick at mxp that we could not see the wing tips. we parked on the runway . we were held under the wings by italian military. jeeps were sent to transport us to the terminal.

1982 on a flight to the west coast I looked out my window and below us was a 747 with a fighter jet following close by on each side ,it was AF-1 President Reagan returning from opening the World Fair in Knoxville. Our pilot made no mention of it

Greenland never gets old.
Las Vegas lights in the middle of the pitch black desert at night.
Going over the Arctic Circle on a wintertime ORD - NRT run. Hours and hours of ice with the low sun on the horizon. Amazing colors. I've never understood why almost all of the other passengers had windows closed. It's a chance to see a part of the world that we'll never, ever be able to visit.
