First photo with fraps/paint.net (only used paint to resize). Saw the aurora and decided I needed to capture. Lots to learn about creating photos.

I've seen the Aurora in flight sim before, it was quite a surprise. The farther north you go, the stronger they seem to get.

You have to be going at 60N or above, some TLV-JFK flights go there.

I have seen it below 60N in FS, we can also see it sometimes in northern Michigan(RW).

Sandro,
take your 767 on a northerly or polar routing at night in the winter and should come up... pretty cool to see...

I also saw it once in real life. Words cannot describe how beautiful it was. I was speechless, and that is saying something about me.
