Night Flight to Rome (with video of take-off)

in busy •  7 years ago  (edited)

Air travel is crazy. Most motorized vehicle is quite mind boggling (boxes moving with people in them, wtf?), but air travel takes the cake. You sit in a pressurized can that produce crazy amounts of energy, all so it can push itself forward on off the ground, to roam the heavens and lands somewhere else very far away. Whats even more amazing is how many people they can squeeze into what seems like not a lot of space, and yet I don't remember my flights for how cramped I felt, only for how amazing it felt to soar through the sky, see everything turn small, travel over nothing, in darkness... Until you fly over some populated area, and what is from ground level just sume dull street lights, become a spectacle to behold, if you're viewing it from the right angle and height

ANYHOW, we got to the plane!

And into the plane we go, to look at people sorting their things and shoving bags to the overhead compartments. Should I feel good or bad that I took just a bag that I kept between my legs, at the little space available? Israelis don't like being "friars" (it's not the friar you might think of), but I prefer not to use the space I paid for, just to keep my things near me.

Soon enough, all the lights would become awesome specks, twinkling in the nights darkness

Nice!

טיסת לילה בלי עננים ועם ראות כזו בהירה וברואה זה דבר מדהים ודי נדיר בסך הכל. הפיבוריט שלי זה תמיד התצפית על תל אביב בהמראה, אוהבת את העיר הזאת מלמעלה לא פחות משאוהבת אותה מלמטה.

אני ממש נוב של טיסות אחרי 5 שנים בארץ. חשבתי שהוא גם יעצור לפני ההמראה, אבל יכול להיות שזה נוהג של נתב"ג הישן.

כיף לדעת שזכיתי בטיסה מיוחדת :)
