I invariably get a window with a smudge in the middle of it!
My window had spots, but for some reason they don't show up in the pictures. As you can see, I always end up sitting over the wing. So my views are somewhat obscured. But the Cascades were so huge, it didn't matter on these flights. I would loved to have seen the pilots' view up front that evening!

on Thursday evening, the first Cascade peaks I saw was Three Sisters! it worked out well because on my morning flight out on Saturday, I was sitting on the north side of the plane and could see up to Ranier. It looked huge! And then on the return flight, obviously, I was on the south side. Also got some excellent views of Hells Canyon, the Wallowas, the Rockies, Glacier NP, and three of the Great Lakes. Pretty good for me since I fly about once a year
due to being busy at work, house projects, and school obligations. But I did manage to catch a fantastic bird's eye view of Mt. Hood flying home from Boston yesterday. After next week, I have over two weeks of backpacking planned...can't hardly wait!
