This one's for the peak-seekers out there! Can anyone name which mountain range this is? It's somewhere inbetween Calgary and Victoria.

A beautiful evening in Calgary CYYC as I did the walk around for my flight to Edmonton CYEG and on to Halifax CYHZ on the redeye.
flying into nyc. those winglets at the end of the wing, that is what they are called, reduce the downward pull at the end of the wing from the Bernoulli Effect, which is what makes the plane fly in the first place. Ironically there is a reverse Bernoulli Effect at the end of the wing that reduces lift. It can be dissipated by one winglet or now two (a two winglet configuration is called an x-wing-let thus making star wars seem more and more like they knew the future. Go figure.)
I'm still amazed that I am in a chair. sitting. IN THE SKY!!! The miracle of flight will never get old to me.
