Glenn Poley
Sometimes pilots get the special privilege of seeing something that is beyond the reach of mere earth-bound mortals. The brief appearance of a comet in late January was one such remarkable event. Captain Glenn Poley was at FL380 on 22 January, at top of descent for Cape Town, when he saw Comet C/2024 G3 (Atlas). He clicked away, capturing images of the comet high above the Cape Peninsula with his trusty iPhone 13. This image of the comet above the lights of Cape Town was caught as they descended through FL280 at 21.20 local time.
