An annotated guide to ground as seen from commercial airliners.

Concept

Aerial and satellite photos of the earth corresponding to flight paths of commercial airlines.

Assumptions

• Airline passengers with window seats, not over the wing, have a wonderful view of the earth as they fly from city to city.
• Pilots rarely identify what geographic feature their aircraft is passing over at any given time.
• Large quantities of free and inexpensive aerial and satellite photos exist of the U.S.
• Airlines generally follow strict flight paths.
• News stands in airports represent an excellent point of sale.
• Airlines may want to purchase the guides for inclusion in in-flight magazines.
