Known as the land of the long white cloud, so if you fly into NZ you could well encounter this scenario.

This is spectacular. why don't the airline industry have a live video feed from the aircraft's nose streamed into the cabin in order to amuse and bedazzle their weary travelers.
This is the descent into Queenstown , New Zealand . It must take great faith in your instruments to pilot an approach like this but the rush must be amazing.

That's awesome. I've been in the front seat a few times ascending or descending thru clouds, and I can tell you the first time is spooky, but then you want to go right back up and do it a bunch more times.

Because some of the passengers would panic.

They used to until the United crash at O'Hare airport. Passengers were able to watch their screens showing the view from the cockpit as the plane flipped over.

Any idea where that was.

O'Hare is in Chicago.

The video is great but soundtrack should be "Learning to Fly" by Pink Floyd. IMHO

I skydived through the middle of a cloud once. Not as much fun as I thought it would be. Like being in a thick wet fog.
