Default The Villages from 10,000 feet up

We were in St Louis for a week - flew back late afternoon by Southwest Air into MCO. Have done that many times, but first to be at a window on right side of plane and very clear out. Plane flew just east of TV and clearly saw our paradiseland from 10K ft up - from north to south. Amazing and so HuuuuGE.

When walking our little pooch at night (we're in Gilchrist) I always see planes/lights in approach to MCO coming from the north and west flying south and east - like they're following 441 south to land at MCO...

It's eyepopping to see us from up high and the ongoing sprawling wonderous beauty of TV from north to south - all the random rooftops, streets, lakes, Centers, golf, etc. I wanted the pilot to slow down more to take it all in, but thought that would be too much to ask...

For those folks in planes lucky enough to see us from up high - bet they said "What the heck is that place down there?"
