Im no expert, but I would say make the weather more dramatic, or at least loose the really repetetive cirrus cloud texture...

Also some scenery would be nice, the ground looks a bit bland...

Other than that is a really cool shot though, nice angle

If this was taken at dawn or dusk, so you had a nice glow from the sky, some mountains or a city in the background, as Alonso said if there was traffic in the background it would have been better, also as Cobra said if you got rid of the repetetive Cirrus clouds and perhaps add a few more Cumulus or Stratus (not too many so we can see the sky though), that would make for a perfect shot.

A fantastic base to build on though Mees, as always your shots retain superb quality and all are very crisp...good job! Cool

Couple things:

Traffic! Everyone used to yell at me for not having traffic, well, you need some!

The clouds look like a checkerboard, you need some other types in there to break up the pattern

The angle is a little weird, the horizon isn't level and that makes it strange too look at

And finally, the sun. You either need more or less of it. The little sliver is too little for me, it need to show more or none at all.

Just some constructive criticism, its a nice shot but could be better Wink

I like the dirt on the side of the aircraft. The clouds are in need of improvement, but a nice shot overall.

I cannot stand how the viewpoint moves also. I'd rather go for a photo like feel, like this;

I don't like the pattern-like cirrus clouds that someone already mentioned.. But the rest of the shot is nice!

High Flight Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air. Up, up the long delirious, burning blue, I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace Where never lark, or even eagle flew - And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod The high untresspassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand and touched the face of God.&&
