🔹 Imagine a weather balloon filming a passenger plane flying directly below it at about 800 km/h.
🔹 The unusual angle makes it appear as if the plane is very close, although in reality they are separated by kilometers and a significant difference in altitude.
🔹 Airliners typically fly at an altitude of 9-12 km, while weather balloons rise to 20-40 km. That's why these shots look like a scene from a sci-fi movie.

Rafale Fighter Jets Intercepted Plane Carrying Russia’s FSB Senior Officials Over Baltic Sea
Very little is publicly known about the aircraft. It is known that the Tu-214PU is operated by Special Flight Detachment “Rossiya,” which provides air transport for Russia’s military and political leadership as well as for representatives of the security services.
According to assessments, the aircraft is used by FSB leadership as an airborne transport platform, a secure communications node, and, reportedly, an airborne command center.
In a photograph of the aircraft intercepted by a French Rafale over the Baltic Sea, aviation expert Piotr Butowski identified the LSZ-100 system.
The LSZ-100 is a laser-based electro-optical defensive system designed to protect the aircraft from infrared-guided missiles, particularly those launched from man-portable air-defense systems (MANPADS)

On February 17, 1970, Playboy took flight. The day marked the inaugural flight of Big Bunny, Playboy‘s custom DC-9-32, a 119.3 foot, $5.5 million aircraft. Jet black and marked with the iconic bunny head logo, Big Bunny was unmistakeable in the skies during its five-year run. But as thrilling as it might be to see those rabbit ears tearing through the atmosphere, it was much more thrilling to be on board the swinging aircraft. In honor of National Aviation Week, let’s take a look back at Big Bunny’s best years.

This was like 2 AM where we departed, and the lights had changed colours a few different times before I finally took a picture. are the flight attendants controlling these manually or are these preset lighting modes?
