Pretty cool. I love it when the sky is clear and I can sit out back to watch the late afternoon flights from Atlanta to Europe passing overhead at 30+ thousand feet. I guess it harks back to the days in small towns when folks would wait in anticipation and watch passenger trains rolling past their back yards on their way to big cities.
