Grand View

    Because we were making such good time flying across the country toward California, the pilot cleared an unscheduled flyover with air traffic controllers. We made two full circles over the Grand Canyon... an unbelievable view and equally unbelievable flight. Thank you United Airlines!

      It so was.

      Thanks! Yeah, the sunlight was glinting at different points and this was my favorite of the 30 or so photos I shot that day from the plane. Thank you.

      Oh thanks! And yes, very lucky indeed. I tend to have extremely good luck with planes... whether it's a free ticket (four of them, actually), a bonus flight over the Grand Canyon or getting let off at MKE instead of Chicago like I was supposed to because of weather, it just happens. All of it, by the way, with United. They've been quite good to me this year.
