describe view from areoplane,describe changes in landscape as plane move in altitudes?

Answer 1

Well, after you get past the clouds (which may be higher or lower, depending on the weather), you don't see the ground. All you see are these fluffy things kinda like a giant field of mashed potatoes or cotton fiber--it's pretty cool.

If you're not too far above the ground, you can still see individual things, but from a totally different angle. You see the tops of cars, the tops of buildings, lakes and pools look like splashes of paint. Trees look like the tops of broccoli in different shades of green.

One of the coolest sights I've seen while flying was when I was flying above Atlanta (I don't remember where I was going, or what direction. Seems like I was flying north, but I don't know where I was going. Anyway.) It was a sea of green and brown, and all of a sudden, the city loomed up like a concrete-and-glass spiky island in the middle of all the nature. A real Lord of the Rings kinda shot, like something out of a movie for sure.

It was amazing, the way it sorta popped up all of a sudden. It's cool flying over hills and mountains because it's interesting to see them as lumps from above.

Plus, you can always tell when you fly over Georgia--all of a sudden, you see people going really fast in the fast lane, but people tailgate right up on the fast-lane cars and force them into the slower lanes. Then somebody does it to them. Over and over.

It's crazy to see that traffic pattern from above--you don't see it in Tennessee or Florida, but as soon as you fly over Georgia, you see people do it. You recognize that awful traffic immediately.

Which is a reason to avoid driving through Atlanta...even though sometimes I have to.

Answer 2

I can describe the view from my hang glider, you see a lot more than from an airplane.

First I see the ground in front of me, dropping away down the hillside. As I start running, my wing picks me up and my feet tread nothing but air. I stick my feet and legs inside my harness and zip up the harness so I'm nice and warm inside my little cocoon. The only sounds I hear is the air moving over the leading edge of the wing above me. The ground drops away and I see the tops of trees. As I get further away from the mountain, my altitude over the ground increases and where before it seems like I was moving quickly over the ground and trees, now it seems like I'm hardly moving at all -- an optical illusion of being high above the ground. I check my variometer and my airspeed is 33 mph. Below me I can see how the ridges and contours of the hillsides have been shaped by flowing water into ridges and gullies. Groves of trees are clumped together in those gullies and sometimes I can see a stream or a pond there by the glitter of reflected sunlight. I fly into some lifting air and my variometer starts to beep to tell me I'm going up. A quick check of the instrument tells me I'm going up at 400 feet per minute. Not exactly a boomer of a thermal, but good enough to take me up to 8,000 feet. As I circle in the lifting air, I can see checkerboard patterns of farmlands far below. Beyond the nearby ridge of mountains, which is now below me, I can see the snow capped peaks of the Sierra Nevada. At 8,000 feet the lift dies out and I start my slow descent towards what looks like a model railroad set, complete with tiny toy houses and barely visible cars. It is very quiet since I am too high to hear traffic sounds. As I get lower, I see power lines and other obstructions I have to be careful of. I start my landing pattern by flying my downwind leg at about 400 feet above the ground. I then make a left turn crosswind onto my base leg, and one more left turn puts me headed into the wind for my final approach. Now the ground is rushing by underneath me again as I bleed off airspeed. Finally, just as my glider is trimmed at mininum sink and my glider's nose starts to dip, I flare the wing into a full stall, for a no-step landing.

The view while flying is like nothing else. It is especially grand when you're not sitting inside some noisy box with a motor, but in free flight, like the red tailed hawks I often circle with.

Thanks for asking.

Answer 3

Without changing Altitudes the plane would never get closer to space it woudl "curve" with the earth because altitude is based on your distance from the ground or "sea level"

Answer 4

Pull up, trees get smaller.
Pull up more, trees get bigger.

Want to know why? Ask in the Flying Section of Transportation.

Answer 5

stuff gets smaller the higher up you go.
