I always get the window seat on the airplane. It is important to me as a traveler to see what I am leaving, where I am arriving and as much as possible in between.  Last week (October 6, 2009) I traveled to Utica, New York, and my view did not disappoint.  The flight from Chicago to Albany was a wonderful viewing experience.  I have experienced fall foliage in Utah and on a particularly wonderful Sunday several years ago along the Hudson River north of White Plains, New York.  But seeing this display from the window of your airplane is another matter.  The view actually looks like a patch work quilt.
