Super-fantastic Journeys

 This weeks view from the Wing Tip is of downtown Dallas, TX.  We had taken off to the south and turned left heading to Charlotte, North Carolina.  It was a nice clear day so you could see all of downtown without any obstruction.  The area is also a major hub for multiple highways so this area is called the mixmaxter, you can certainly see why from this view.

 In today's view from the wing tip I was able to capture this shot of Soldiers Field, the Museum of Science and Industry, and the Chicago Aquarium as we were flying the downwind leg out into Lake Michigan before turning to the left and coming in for a final approach into O'Hare International Airport.  It was a nice crisp November morning so the view was great.

 Flying out of Las Vegas McClaren Airport can provide you with some pretty unique views of the strip.  When selecting your seat you are going to want to get a seat on the right side of the airplane to be able to get the best views.  Be sure to be ready because as soon as the plane starts to rotate you will have just a little bit of time where you can see the strip.  I always enjoy this takeoff and shoot away. This first shot shows the strip from Mandalay Bay all the way down to the Stratosphere tower.  You can see the full length shortly after you are off the ground.   This second shot gives you a look down the strip, with just a little bit of the airfield still in the picture. While I am not a Raiders fan in any sense, I captured this shot to show off the new Raiders stadium located just west of the strip.
