Out the Window

I love to fly.  For the past several years, whenever I've gotten a window seat, I've felt compelled to photograph what I see out the window. Recently, while over the North Atlantic on my flight back from London, I saw this contrail when I pulled up the shade.  It looked like pin striping on the sky.  ;-)

If you plotted a line from the spot to my lens to the sun, it would be a straight line.  What's the coolest thing you've seen out the window of an airplane?
