Totally off topic but I thought the following would amuse some regulars on
here. It was originally posted on the Aussie Weather group:...

We were on a flight from Auckland to Los Angeles, approaching LA, and comms was
on one of the channels of the in-flight entertainment. I heard:-

'United xxx, maintain your present altitude, whatever that is.'

We landed safely.

Getting back on topic, it was on that flight, somewhere over the Pacific, that
the sky and sea merged such that looking down was the same as looking up...if
you see what I mean.
