Your favourite photos taken of/from a plane?

Slightly OT for the thread but that's a lot of equipment. Granted the 380 isn't the biggest cargo carrying plane in its belly, but stil...

Allegedly he chartered 2 x 747 (gear) and 1 x A380 (personnel)....

SQ228 A side is my favourite flight out of Melbourne always spectacular views especially in Southern Summer when the atmosphere is moody and charged.

These were done though a photo scanner, not the best, but you can fiddle with them later.

Epson FW 680 W, can do a4 documents as well, load it up and let it go.

I don't want to spend hours manipulating photos.

Epson v850 is the bees knees in scanners for negatives, slides, and photos.

I have a CanonScan 9000F that I bought a few years ago, which can scan positive or negative 35mm and medium format, and A4 documents. It came with Adobe Lightroom which was a bonus. They haven't been made for a while though, and I'm sure there is a new equivalent.

One of Mum's trips to UK circa 1988.

At the time through work I had a contact in the Federal Aviation dept who kindly invited dad, me and son to view mum's plane from the actual bay it was in. Not sure of the terminology . This was Sydney

a recent post prompted me to look at my old albums ... thought this one may be of interest (sorry about the lamp post...).
Kai Tak Dec 1967. MSA DH Comet 4C (like the one I arrived on) taxiing , with a RAF Argosy landing.

just one more indulgence ...
a DC8 on final over Kowloon in to Kai Tak, Feb 1968. I think I was experimenting with a Kodak Instamatic.

Kai Tak was certainly memorable... I have a couple more, but they are suffering from poor storage - you can see on this one. Pretty blurry too. Anyway Pan Am was iconic in those days. This could have been either PA1 or PA2, their round the world services.
This pic was taken beside the perimeter fence on western side (It was just waist high barbed wire - hardly like today's secure environments). Same day in Feb 1968.
Use coordinates 22°19'20.3"N 114°11'39.2"E on google maps was about where it was taken. You can see just how short they landed in 1968 compared to later after the runway was extended (second time) mid 70's.
Also notable, the hills behind were not covered in high rise apartments like today.
