scargill 0 #1 December 23, 2006 Short but sweet question I know.... Most of the time my head's up concentrating on the 4-way - but on the rare occasions that I jump by myself and get to look around (whilst keeping a firm check on my altitude - before someone asks why I'm looking at the world) I'm amazed at how beautiful the world can be from the air...Which places have taken your breath away and made you think WOW?
