Via Richard’s Notes, he brings the nine things to consider when shooting from planes. This is not something I have a lot of experience with, despite my flight schedule. I find sleeping in the plane, or taking night flights a lot more efficient (though at night, I’m sure you could get quite a bunch of good shots).
My new aims: sit on a flying instrument and take aerial photos
I found tip #3 really handy:
3. The outside of most plane windows is a hard plastic which, over time gets scratched. If you get a heavily scratched window it will make things harder although not impossible as you’re focusing beyond the window. Also, go to the bathroom and wet a paper towel and clean the inside of the window. Between finger prints and god knows what else it can be pretty grimy.
