These Stratospheric Photos Did Not Come from NASA

By Heather Callaghan, Editor

We earth dwellers reside in the troposphere, but this is not where we fly.

Up above in the lower stratosphere lies a cool, calm and cosmically mystical world unbeknownst to even air travelers.

That is except for modern “sky walkers” like air pilots. They face forward and take in the full view. Have they become jaded? I only ask because not many of them have shared the sights you are about to witness.

Yet, Santiago Borja never ceases to have his breath taken away and he has shared these cockpit photos on his Instagram, calling the sights “magic.”

We all learn about #lift and #drag, but deep inside we #pilots know that it’s all #magic. And once up there, everything else is moved and done by more of this #magic
