747 Pilot Takes Stunning Photos From His Cockpit, Proves That Pilots Have The Best Office Views In The World
The flying Dutchman, aka JPC Van Heijst, has probably the most awesome office on the planet. And although we've already seen some of the amazing photos he's taken, we still haven't seen the actual spectacle these pilots witness, with all the lights and switches in the way. Until now.
Being the first officer with Cargolux, Van Heijst flies Boeing 747s around the world: "Seeing the entire world in my job, I feel privileged to be in a position to capture many different parts of the planet through my camera and immortalize the beauty of the places I visit," he told Daily Mail.
And while sure, not many of us can relate to this kind of 'office' experience, we'd love to see what sort of working environment you find yourself in daily. So feel free to share your office pics in the comments!

Omg, I'd be begging them to install a seat for me, too! LOL. I'd absolutely ADORE seeing such a view of a starry night sky! Nothing excites me more than gazing up at a perfectly clear view of a starry night sky, not knowing if there could be someone far away, looking back at me... 💕✨🌌✨💕

Static discharge due to friction with particles in the air. Very pretty!

I saw a view like this from the window. I always get a window seat so I can see what's out there.

No, I've seen Star Wars. That's not landing. They're making the jump to hyperspace!

Seeing the cockpit makes me even more terrified of flying. I struggle when my "check engine" light comes on. My god!

This is so cool. I love the take offs and the landings, it's the long trip that wears me out.
