And This Beside

Should I forget

Dirty airplane window

This airplane window was so scratched up and dirty, my camera couldn't auto-focus past it.  Another thing to note about this photo is that prominent brown patch out on the wing which indicates a peeled surface.  It would seem that this aircraft has been in the service long.  So as I was sitting there, on this particular ride, staring at the brown spot, the thought which came to mind while I was also puzzling about the aircraft material that the peeled surface revealed was how much passengers really weighed in the scheme of the airline industry's scale of risks and benefits.  I succeeded in disturbing myself.

Bird sightings

Or some of them, anyway.  There were also fighter jets taking off and landing that day (no kidding), but everytime I saw them my camera was in my bag.  Those things are tiny compared to the commercial planes, but they have fire coming out of their tails.

Seat preference

I think it signified something deeper when I changed my default seat preference from window to aisle.
