The view from FL12000

Well, I know it's not GA, but is it flying? (that's a question, BTW so it's in the right forum!)

Did anyone spot Oz in there?

I saw a bit of North America and the Mediterranean, but couldn't recognize much else.

Some of those CB's towards the end were huge, must be great to look down on all the action.

Visit here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/unplug/

Click on "+ Add to Firefox" & agree to installing it.

Restart Firefox & take note of the small green fish at bottom right of the window. Clicking this brings up UnPlug, listing the things it can download & save.
