view from seat 18A of Mandala Airlines flight 565
These pictures were taken while I was on board a Mandala Airlines flight 565 bound for Jakarta from Bali. I am going back to Jakarta after a very wonderful vacation in the island of Bali but the flight had a 30-minute layover in Surabaya to drop-off and pick-up passengers. I took the pictures about 10 minutes before landing at Juanda International Airport in Surabaya when the captain announced that a volcano is erupting, luckily I was seated on the left side of the plane where I can witness the splendor and perils of mother nature. This is my first time to see an erupting volcano and I can say that it was totally cool!
Eventhough the pilot is speaking in English I cannot fully understand his Indonesian accent plus I was so preoccupied setting my camera to take some photos so I blew the chance to know the volcano's name. I asked a flight attendant for the volcano's name but I guess she didn't totally comprehend what I said. If you look closely at the second photograph it looks like Mt. Fuji of Japan because of the white to greyish thing enveloping the volcano's mouth.
I have also a very "cool" bird's eyeview picture of our very own Mayon Volcano which I took several months ago on my flight back to Manila from Legazpi City. Well, I like my erupting volcano photos more than the gentle, smoke spewing Mayon volcano ;)
