This Is Why We Fly
This is spectacular. I often have wondered why the airline industry doesn’t have a live video feed from the aircraft’s nose streamed into the cabin in order to amuse and bedazzle their weary travelers.

This is the descent into Queenstown, New Zealand. It must take great faith in your instruments to pilot an approach like this but the rush must be amazing.

Expand it to full screen and enjoy!

…sometimes what a pilot sees in a day, people won’t see in their lifetimes.. amazing Queenstown, New Zealand.

I invite people of the world to come visit this beautiful country and its people.

Joke Of The Day: Baby Planes

Rubber Chicken A mother and her 5-year-old son were flying Air New Zealand from Auckland to Sydney.

The son (who had been looking out the window) turned to his mother and asked, “If big dogs have baby dogs and big cats have baby cats, why don’t big planes have baby planes?”

The mother, who couldn’t think of an answer, told her son to ask the flight attendant. So the little guy walks up to the galley and asks the flight attendant,

“If big dogs have baby dogs and big cats have baby cats, why don’t big planes have baby planes?”

The flight attendant responded, “Did your mother tell you to ask me that?”

The boy said, “Yes, she did.”

“Well, then, please tell your mother that there are no baby planes because Air New Zealand always pulls out on time. Ask her to explain that to you.”

8 Year Old Discovers $65,000 Whale Poop

I guess Charlie found his golden ticket after all.

Whale Poop

Charlie Naysmith, 8, was strolling with his dad along the beach in New Zealand when he stumbled on what he thought was a funny-looking rock. The rock was quite compelling, thanks to its surprisingly light weight and faint waxy texture, so young Charlie decided to take it home. As it turns out, the weird rock was actually not a rock at all, but an incredibly rare substance called ambergris, which is, essentially, a very valuable piece of whale poop. Charlie’s 1.3-pound piece of ambergris is estimated to be worth somewhere around $65,000.
