Unique angle of Dallas airspace

Usually, you cannot get both the airports in Dallas in the same frame so easily. Today, we started from Austin and then instead of a north easterly direction, went straight north to Dallas to avoid weather. Then took a sharp right turn to head to Atlanta. As we took the turn, we could see LoveField and DFW clearly from the plane!

Coincidence!

I was in flight from Boston to Atlanta. Was exchanging messages over Whatsapp with my school English teacher who was visiting her son in Asheville. A bit later, while awaiting a response, I looked out and guess what I saw? We were flying over Asheville at that precise moment!!

I did not know the existence of this

All these years I have been landing and taking off in JFK and never realized that Terminal 5 (which was for TWA airlines that went bankrupt after the crash in 1996 and was bought by American Airlines) is a TWA themed hotel. There are two hotel buildings, the whole decor is that of a throwback to the yesteryears. There are old vintage cars, the checking in counters are for the hotel!, there is a swimming pool overlooking the runway and even an airplane there that has been converted to a bar! Definitely check it out next time you are in JFK!
