I am soaring from Perth to Brisbane. At a certain moment during the flight, while I’m unwinding in my seat, someone bends over me from the aisle to gaze out of the window. Initially, I presume it’s one of the stewards, but then I spot the uniform. It’s one of the pilots.
The man gazes intently out of the window beside me and then murmurs to himself.
Pilot: “Well, I’ll be darned. So it is.”
He moved away from the window and headed back to the front of the plane.
This made me get a bit freaked out. In fact, it made me get very freaked out. I spent the remainder of the flight clutching the headrests and praying.
We landed, and I made some discreet inquiries of the crew. I discovered that the pilot had been returning to the cockpit after using the restroom and had noticed a double rainbow outside my window.
