When you can't be bothered to wash the airplane by hand, you can always fly along the edge of a passing rain shower. A dying straggler left behind by a cold front that had passed through town a few hours back, this little fella was as well behaved and as timid as an altar boy, with hardly a whiff of turbulence or misbehavior about it - which made it worth a short detour on my way past...
at 36000 feet, over the Red Sea , heading out on the BBJ2...the views from the front office are superb...
We had a 3 hour long sunset while flying from continental Europe to the Canary Islands. We took-off into the sunset and this view remained for almost 3 hours before it got completely dark.
A piston single, a backwoods grass runway, a deep anticyclone and all the time in the world - feels good to be back in the old saddle! (not to mention running into a Q400 captain I fly with beavering away at his single-seat homebuilt at the same airfield)

When undertaking long flights in a cockpit that is somewhat "ergonomically challenged", it helps to occasionally stretch out a bit - in my case by trying to find a new angle to the Q400's flight deck without actually leaving my seat. Some panting and much grunting was involved as well!
Innsbruck Airport is among the most challenging airfields in Europe due to the surrounding terrain. In order to avoid the high mountain peaks, the approach must be flown along the valley, where strong and turbulent winds may be encountered. Innsbruck's runway can be seen beyond the city.

The busman's holiday. Having completed the week's dose of high & fast, I though it best to wind down with a bit of low & slow - and what better way than to finally have a go at the delightful Morane-Saulnier Rallye (and its wonderfully quirky slats). One of France's most charismatic, successful and durable piston singles, the Rallye - here in its 150 HP MS.892 form - boasts a fun factor that is off the scale, especially on a day as sunny as this, in lighting conditions as good as these and above terrain as fine as this...

The best I can do. Pressing the camera on the cockpit window of the Boeing 747-400 over Greenland. That is all I can see from my seat. Only one of the 4 GE CF6-80C2B1F is visible from my seat.
