Haven’t flown since 1999. Coming up on ten years. Still taking plenty of trips. Driving. What a beautiful country we have. Looks a whole lot better close up as opposed to 30,000 feet.
I’ve seen some great things flying at 30K though - the way the Rockies hit Colorado - the oil wells down around Ok and Tx - the deserts of New Mexico - and the way that the wide open spaces of the border of Tx meets the maquilladoras of Mexico, full of squats boxes and smoke-belching factories.
Even travel by train can be awe-inspiring.
