In the first shot, we've almost flown right over it!<br /><br />Love the World's Fair, though.

If you were born at the right time you could have gone to the 39 World’s Fair, the opening of Disneyland (55) and the 1964 World’s Fair.210Frwynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-54019525455161467762011-07-23T12:40:55.461-07:002011-07-23T12:40:55.461-07:00Oh yeah, Connie...I forgot about that.

There is a chance that it can interfere with the pilots ability to communicate with the tower.TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-34526887571574775562011-07-23T11:25:10.390-07:002011-07-23T11:25:10.390-07:00Progressland, I am NOT surprised!!

But I have never seen the 1964 New York World's Fair outside the window. :(Jason Schultzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13193194008194991219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-6118679212592674122011-07-23T07:56:13.508-07:002011-07-23T07:56:13.508-07:00TM!, I have to admit that I never have my camera o...TM!, I have to admit that I never have my camera out. Of course the best thing of all is to fly over landmarks that you recognize, whether they are famous or not.<br /><br />Connie, I like window seats because of the view, and because I can lean against the side of the plane if I decide to snooze!<br /><br />Viewliner, you don't have to tell ME about "The Odyssey of Flight 33"! ;-) I almost mentioned it in this post. I still remember the few seconds of stop-motion animated brontosaurus thrilling me when I was a kid.Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-65220403504166843172011-07-23T06:50:35.477-07:002011-07-23T06:50:35.477-07:00These pics are great.

They remind me of an old Twilight Zone episode called "The Odyssey of Flight 33".<br /><br />Here is the wikipedia link:<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Odyssey_of_Flight_33<br /><br />But this time its the 1939 NY Worlds Fair.

I think you are not supposed to shoot in the cabin now but I do it anyway, LOL.

Thanks for labeling the close-up of the fairgrounds for us.<br /><br />I rarely have my camera out during a flight, but I remember flying over WDW once in the early morning and seeing school buses that were still sitting in the parking lot (the park had closed early the night before for a Grad Nite party). Also, on a flight from L.A. to Seattle, we flew over the Queen Mary in Long Beach and then over Garden Grove where I could make out Disneyland in the distance (even though we weren't flying directly over it). I should've had my camera out both of those times!TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.com
