I didn't see a thread for aerial road photos, so I figured that I would start one.  Had a recent worthwhile photo of I-80 ascending Donner Summit while flying to Seattle:

I've taken several over the years, but never really bothered to organize/upload/post them.  Perhaps someday...

I like this idea.  Here's one of mine to kick off what I expect will be several contributions.

Here's I-90 Exit 5 (Everett Rd) from Southwest Flight 934 on approach to ALB.  February 1, 2015.

Photos I post are my own unless otherwise noted.

I'll just quote my post from another thread. I just happened to have the dumb luck to look out the window on my way to San Francisco last May and to spot a familiar place.

I just happened to get very lucky in looking out the window a few minutes ago. That's the Moki Dugway from 32,000 feet. South is to the top left–the Valley of the Gods Bed and Breakfast is visible at the bottom of the cliffs. The Dugway is on the left side and the dirt road running across to the right is the road to Muley Point.




Edited to add another. The Dugway is right in the middle just above the window reflection.

I didn't take any photos, but...  When I flew down to Mexico last March, my flight from Dallas to Monterrey closely followed the route I used to drive between the two.  From having driven that route so many times and looking at it on Google Maps so-o-o-o-o-o many times, I was able to accurately track our progress all the way from Pearsall by simply looking out the window.

I-294 facing north at I-90 and Illinois 72:



Mild correction.  That's looking west on I-90, Northwest Tollway at I-294, Tri-State Tollway.  The Tri-State uses the middle level through here with I-90 on the lowest level.

Crown King Road from flying roughly above I-17.  This is considered the back way into Arizona and follows the grade of the defunct Bradshaw Mountain Railroad.
