Wow, and double WoW! Never before, have I heard of an airliner taking the
time to do some sightseeing!


Years ago, I was coming back to Minnesota from the L.A. area in
California, flying on Northwest. The pilot came on the PA and said that
since it was such a clear morning, they got permission to divert
slightly so we could see the Grand Canyon. We didn't do any 360's, but
they did slow down and bank right and left so everyone could get a
look. This was also the same flight that the pilot would keep us up to
date with the Vikings (football) score....
Don't know if that would occur now days or not....
