When i went inside of the cockpit for the first time we were at 10.000ft and i thought "holy shit, they have the best office view". It got better during cruise.
I don't think "more than likely it's somewhere in the Middle East" is IDing the airport, which is why I tried to figure it out. But you were on the right track so that's good!
The first time I flew commercial and we burst out from the tops of the clouds to a beautiful sunrise and alien landscape I started crying. I had no idea that would happen.
My type 1 diabetic ass wanted to be a pilot so badly. I have only gotten sicker the older I’ve gotten, but all of these videos, pictures and conversations have made my heart feel so full 🫶🏼
Day time only is a possible restriction. There's a bunch of day-time only vfr float companies out there that would love a pilot that won't look to fuck off to an airline first chance.
In every job, no matter how amazing, at some point, doing the same thing over and over again becomes tedious and non-amazing. It might be your dream job. But it is never as good as the first few times after a while.
That point might take longer. It might be less tedious. But eventually, we become accustomed to it.
It's how humans are built. It's impossible to avoid. We can reduce it, we can fight it, we can find joy in every moment when we try. But it is inevitable, to one degree or another.
True! IIRC from my meterology study, the absolute cloud ceiling was somewhere around 85'000ft, well above the ceiling of any mass production aircraft that I can think of.
Man this would have been much cooler if it were done in landscape mode .I feel like I'm wearing horse blinders or looking through one of those arrow slits in a castle. Wild.
Nice vid.
But to be 'that' person: pilots mostly look inside (at least the Pilot Flying). Also, the POV of the camera is not the POV of the pilots, who sit a bit lower and more in the back. They don't see sh!t after take-off in front of them.
Lovely views. Thank you. Nearest I get to this view is from my car’s front windscreen. On my rural route to work I take a steep & twisty hill which is signed 17%. It is an open view as approach the highest point. With a severe drop once over the peak. As approach the highest point, all the landscape in the valley below slowly becomes visible. Filling the view from the windscreen & side windows. The road disappears from view as the car travels over the peak. For some 5/10 seconds it seems like the car is flying. Wonderful.
I'm not a big fan of the words on screen with the dumb emoji either but I'm just an old man that hate's TikTok content so excuse me while I go find some clouds to yell at.

If you subtract the cockpit, windows, avionics, fuselage….

What airport?
FuzzyWDunlop@reddit
It's OERK, King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh.
The planes with the blue tails with yellow stripes are Flyadeal and the teal tails with Fs on the tail are Flynas.
This took me way longer than I'd like to figure out and I had to look by gate number. We need an airline tail database sorted by color!
DM_Me_Summits_In_UAE@reddit
Great job on the ID
FloridaWings@reddit
🥲 But I ID’d it first
FuzzyWDunlop@reddit

FloridaWings@reddit
Good job finding it after me though! Was not an easy one to find.
FloridaWings@reddit
I did ID the exact airport. Look back at my comment. Was posted an hour before yours.
jftm999@reddit
King Khalid airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
cram31337@reddit
KABQ maybe?
ButtStuff6969696@reddit
Not sure where, but 100% sure not ABQ.
FloridaWings@reddit
Definitely not in the US. More than likely it’s somewhere in the Middle East (OERK?).
NoMoreNoise305@reddit
I get the same views on a flight simulator on my iPad. But nothing beats the real thing. How cool
Crackstacker@reddit
The first time I flew commercial and we burst out from the tops of the clouds to a beautiful sunrise and alien landscape I started crying. I had no idea that would happen.
Capt_World@reddit
Sad thing is most of that time you are looking at checklists, avionics, and making radio calls.
KH33tBit@reddit
As a professional pilot I can assure you there is plenty of time to look out the window and enjoy the views.
Also most of us love our work so doing things like checklist and radio calls etc isn’t a chore.

All my colorblind ass ever wanted to do was be a pilot.

4wwn4h@reddit
Still plenty of time to look out the window ;)
ConversationNearby30@reddit
Good thing is that at some point you get to a skill level that you can safely operate the aircraft and still enjoy the view.
GarakObsidianOrder@reddit
Nah, you can just glance at those. Making radio calls doesn’t interfere with the view.

Dude every job has hard days. Even the guy who polishes the Queen of England's crown dreads clocking in every once in a while.
CreatureMoine@reddit
Tbf that seems like a pretty boring job to start.
Surprise_Donut@reddit
I'd imagine seeing the tips of clouds, ie sky and sun is the default. There is either cloudd or there isn't. There is never weather at that height.
soulscratch@reddit
There is weather that gets up to cruising altitude and higher
LessDesideration@reddit
True! IIRC from my meterology study, the absolute cloud ceiling was somewhere around 85'000ft, well above the ceiling of any mass production aircraft that I can think of.

it’s smart to have a dashcam in the cockpit. you never know when another plane will clip your tail!
collins_amber@reddit
Wouldn't it be named cockcam lol

Sure, pilot sits in the cockpit, drivers sits...in the dash???

Yes right, dashpit

That was awesome thank you
pup5581@reddit
This is GMMN...right?
StPauliBoi@reddit
It really is.
What's even better than this is when you go flying on an overcast day, and finally pop through that cloud layer.
file_13@reddit
Exactly what the pilot sees? There’s so much more.
herkguy@reddit
Or a passenger looking out the window. Dumb

JimmyJamesv3@reddit
Shit music.
ADMINlSTRAT0R@reddit
Yes, but IMO somehow appropriate for this video, especially when it went through the clouds.
JimmyJamesv3@reddit
Nah, the time lapse is fantastic and was ruined by that "music".

nobody65535@reddit
There's some in the video.
Inspi@reddit
That portrait recording explains exactly how all the accidents occur, like the recent one with the tail clipping.
Pilots need a bigger view of the world, where they can see left and right, and not just straight forward.
