Readers keep upping the ante:
I know you said you’re done posting views from airplane windows, but I wanted to send these two photos just in case. My sister was recently in Nepal and flew in an ultralite over the city of Pokhara and along the Annapurna range. The first photo shows the peak of a locally revered mountain called Machapuchare, or “Fish Tail”. The second was taken from a wing-mounted camera and shows the pilot and my sister in the back, with Machapuchare behind them.
By the way, she’s never done anything like this before, and our family is still reeling over these and other images she sent (especially one of my brothers, who is severely afraid of flying). I myself am just insanely jealous.
Second photo after the jump:
Nothing would persuade me to get into that thing. Nothing.
