36,000 Feet

(Leaf 77) – Looking Back

 

My old job used to require me to travel a lot by cargo plane. The amenities on such flights are very, very basic. The only entertainment was what you could bring with you in your hand luggage. Such journeys were often long and tiring. But the freedom to look out of the window and simply watch the world go by was often far more interesting and far more relaxing than watching an in-flight movie, or all the other distractions more commonly found on commercial passenger flights.
