Thinking of flying somewhere?

The attached file shows world wide flights in a 24 hr period sped up to complete in one minute on the video. Both impressive and frightening. :D

I had a funny thing happen when I flew back at Xmas...well I thought it was kinda strange anyway. I was struggling to sleep as usual, probably drunk. We were somewhere over Turkmenistan, middle of the night and I popped open the window blind. About 5 seconds later the super bright lights on the wing were switched on, lighting up the engines and side of the plane - then shortly after we made a small turn to the right. Than about 60 seconds after that another plane passed us on the left hand side...looked to be basically the same height as us! :blink:

I'm afraid I give only one free consultation, so if you want to know, that'll be a squillion dollars please. :lol: No, you'll be just fine I'm sure. :)

I'm sure there is stuff they never tell us about...Turkmenistan...a MIG fighter maybe? (An old one without any lights).
