Interesting video of the aurora taken on a flight from San Francisco to Paris.
Passenger set up a 1 minute time lapse taken out the window of an Air France flight which flew the polar route for the 11 hr flight.
Now if I had to be on a flight for 11 hours this would certainly break up the time and be something to see.

Very cool. I guess Air France aren't Nazis about shutting off all electronic equipment below 10,000 ft!

I often see the lights on just about every night flight to or from AK. I always book a window seat on the port side (left) going south, and the starboard side (right) heading north.

You can also usually see the noctilucent clouds during the summer.
