One’s jaw might easily drop at many of the world’s natural beauties. And the stunning Aurora Borealis, often known as the Northern Lights, is unquestionably at the top of the list. The amazing sight can usually be seen in nations that are closer to the poles, like Norway. Yet, not everyone has the chance to see the event in their lifetime.
Because of this, the pilot of an easyJet aircraft from Reykjavik to Manchester opted to perform a 360-degree flyby in order to offer the passengers a look of the dazzling lights.
“Big thanks to the @easyJet pilot of EZY1806 from Reykjavik to Manchester who did a 360 fly by mid-flight to make sure all passengers could see the incredible Northern Lights,” according to the post caption.

How amazing. What a fabulous pilot. I saw them recently on a flight to Arizona. But they weren't as fab as yours. But I was over the moon to see them. Well done to you. pic.twitter.com/TFCSrDF51G

I've been lucky enough to see the Aurora on both trips I've had to Iceland and also once from home here in NW England. They are an unforgetable sight to see and thankfuly we also got some amazing images too. Congrats on your engagement. What a way to finish your trip off.

Brilliant photos. I had this experience at a similar position many years ago. The difference was my flight was military so we didn't have quite the same restrictions as a civilian flight. Well played Captain easyJet 👍

Lovely story. Can’t help but think of classic Alan Partridge. “It was a truly amazing experience. But the next day I realised that pilot had broken protocol so I got in touch with the company. They later thanked me and informed me the pilot had been relieved of their duties.”

Wow! These pictures are absolutely fantastic. That pilot should be cheered and awarded for allowing the passengers to see the northern lights after he did a full 360 fly by.

The sky is covered in dynamic patterns of spectacular lights known as auroras that might take the form of curtains, beams, spirals, or dynamic flickers. The solar wind’s effects on the magnetosphere lead to auroral phenomena. The phenomenon, known as Aurora Australis, may also be observed in the southern hemisphere.
