Fly Me To The Moon


I was leaving the local park at sunset today, and noticed this jet headed towards the moon. I couldn't resist!

Full disclosure: The moon is about 240,000 miles from the earth. The jet isn't really headed towards the moon, it's an optical illusion. It was likely leaving St. Louis airport which is about 20 miles west of this spot. I doubt is was more than 2-3 miles high...

Quite a bit of noise, but the light was fading fast.

Fly Me To Moon is, of course Sinatra
