Plane view from the window seat
A recent piece in The New York Times on rediscovering the romance of the window seat on planes has prompted a flood of window-seat photographs from readers. Which reminds me: flying isn’t something I’ve enjoyed much for a long time. Aloft by William Langewiesche, recently reissued as a Penguin classic, restores some of the wonder to it. Just as Norman Maclean, with A River Runs Through It, sent me back to fishing, so Langewiesche (almost) makes me want to be a pilot.
