As a Delta Air Lines jet was flying over Arizona on a clear day, the co-pilot was providing his passengers with a running commentary about landmarks over the PA system. "Coming up on the right, you can see the Meteor Crater, which is a major tourist attraction in northern Arizona. It was formed when a lump of nickel and iron, roughly 150 feet in diameter and weighing 300,000 tons, struck the earth at about 40,000 miles an hour, scattering white-hot debris for miles in every direction. The hole measures nearly a mile across and is 570 feet deep." An excited passenger was heard to exclaim, "Wow, look honey! It just missed the highway!"

A very nice photo, however, there is no way that the aircraft that you are flying on is a 767-400
Thanx Brian for the great shot and Vik for the informative remark.
Very nice shot. Morning flight heading westbound? That looks to be meteor crater in Winslow, Arizona. The road in the center of the image going across is I-40, and a perpendicular road that leads up next to the crater is exit 233. The crater is less than a mile in diameter and was created approximately 50,000 years ago by a 150 ft wide meteor.
