1 – Definitely coming in to Lisbon from the South West. That’s the first one that came to mind.

2 – Flying into Sydney over the Harbour bridge is quite sweet as well.

3 – Evening Flight from Cairns to Darwin chasing the sunset. Most beautiful evening colours in the sky and the ground I have ever seen – with the best thank you ever message from a pilot to finish it off. (He even got a round of applause which is unusual).

@conshaldow

I laughed at your No 5 as I prefer spotting my house on the inbound flight!

And since you gave 5, I will include 2 more (I’m sure VV will not mind):

Flying over the Ards Peninsula before landing at Belfast City.

Flying over Brooklyn and Queens before landing at La Guardia (and much cheaper than a helicopter ride over Manhattan)!!

@alexpo1

Reconsidering my point again, I see your point. After a long trip there’s nothing better than setting eyes upon your house again, and more importantly… my own bed!

Hey conshaldow…..your own bed….what great eyesight…

When landing at EDI from the west I can see my house-village pub pretty much on finals…home at last …bliss

Landing at YVR, if I’m on the left side my sisters house is pretty much below us seconds before touchdown……

There’s the dogs’s I’ve exclaimed on one flight much to the bemusement of the person sitting next to me…

So my top 5 ….

1) Flying into Vancouver ….magnificent
2) Ditto LHR over Westminster
3) HNL approaching from Diamond Head along Waikiki
4)Approaching NBO over the National Park….Lions !!!!!
5) Greenland in Summer….

Oh to the hell with…it’s a fun thread…

6) EDI after the 90 degree bank over the Forth…
7) Departing HKG on a clear night..
8) Mt Kilimanjaro
9) Flying into Alice….The Red Centre indeed !

And the best to last….

at number 10 . the old shepard / ghillies who lived a full and interesting life l, whose craggy features beamed with joy as our AC plane flew over his West Hebridean island…..I was truely priveleged to share in another human beings happiness and wonderment…

And brilliant thread VV !! : ))
