Seriously looks like something that should be on top of a B-17.

matt... yeah... if the canopy had good optical quality, there would be a real pull for pro photographers...

I worked for the company that made optics for some of the airborne observatories the USAF flies (Codename Cobra Ball. Yes. really. ). A couple of the techs would go on flights with them. They said that the stars at 45,000 feet were.. amazing.

Get rid of the arm-rest, make 'em recline flat, and have the flight crew look the other way for 20 minutes...

An aerodynamic "teardrop" shape will help reduce the drag factor.

Hopefully only the people who get these seats are paying the fuel penalty.

Personally, I would rather have the ability to look down. Clouds and sky would become a bit boring.

The German word for contraceptive is “Schwangerschaftsverhütungsmittel”. By the time you finished saying that, it’s too late

Don't get cocky, kid!

If it were a turret, it would be trés cool.

Oh, I *love* looking out the window at night, seeing stars above and clouds below.

That seat is probably pricy and maybe you can't buy it for the entire flight, but kicking back and watching the night sky... I'd love that.

I am that Masked Man.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

A person looks up in wonderment... A God looks down and wonders.

And vast expanses of fuselage and wing tops.

I was on a British Airways 777 to London, and they had a forward/downward video camera that was on the in-flight entertainment screen as an option. Was fun to watch as we came to England and dropped below the clouds.
