This never gets old': Pilot captures mesmerising view of diving into clouds for landing

Time of India05-06-2025
Sometimes all it takes to be reminded of the breathtaking beauty of nature in a world full of hustle and bustle is a window seat—or in this case, a view from the cockpit. Commercial pilot Mattias, whose Instagram handle is @flywithmat_, recently shared a video that went viral.
The breathtaking final approach of an aircraft preparing to land is captured in the video, giving viewers a front-row seat to the serene ballet between the runway and clouds.
In the video, as the plane gently cuts through fluffy clouds, a golden horizon gradually gives way to a clear runway below. This serene visual experience—which goes beyond a pilot's-eye view—has thrilled more than a million people.
Mattias captioned the photo, "Diving into clouds.
Thick layers surround the cockpit, the world outside fades—visibility drops to zero.
it's all about the instruments. Attitude, speed, localizer, glideslope — each value scanned, each adjustment based on numbers, not sight. Then, finally, a break in the clouds. The runway appears late, but in time and exactly where it should be. No surprises. Just precision. THIS never gets old."
Social media users showered the comments section with praise, with many referring to it as "a dream job" and "a view worth waking up for." Some even admitted that they repeatedly watched the landing sequence in order to regain that sense of calm. In a time when delays and disruptions in aviation frequently make headlines, Mattias's video serves as a kind reminder of the understated elegance that can still be found at 35,000 feet.

Actress Manjima Mohan to take "a little pause" from Instagram

Chennai: Well known Tamil film actress Manjima Mohan on Thursday announced that she would be taking a short break from Instagram in order "to rest, recharge and focus on what's most important." Taking to her Instagram page, the actress, who is known to voice her thoughts on issues, said, "The last few days have reminded me of what truly matters! Health, peace, and well-being. Everything else can wait. With that in mind, I'll be taking a little pause from Instagram to rest, recharge, and focus on what's most important. Sometimes slowing down is the most powerful step forward." It may be recalled that the actress had expressed disappointment over the manner in which certain people had reacted to the heartbreaking news of an air plane crash that had occurred. The actress had then raised the question if this was truly the example we wanted to set for the next generation. Taking to her Instagram stories page, the actress had then said, "What has humanity come to? In a heartbreaking crash, we lost so many precious lives and we see people trying to profit from the tragedy. Sensationalizing the event, spreading fear through astrology and numerology, making insensitive jokes, and thrusting microphones into the faces of grieving families. At a time that calls for compassion and respect, is this truly the example we want to set for the next generation?" The actress, who has delivered some critically acclaimed performances in both Tamil and Malayalam cinema, completed 10 years in the film industry in March this year. Penning a note of gratitude on the occasion of completing 10 years in the film industry as an artiste, Manjima Mohan had said, 'Ten years since I began my journey as an artiste, and I couldn't be more grateful. Every opportunity, every challenge, and every experience has shaped me into the artiste I am today.' Expressing her heartfelt thanks to all her directors, actors, and producers that she has worked with, Manjima told them, 'Your support and belief in me have made this journey unforgettable.' Thanking the media, she had said, 'Thank you for always recognizing and appreciating my work.' She also said, 'I am forever indebted to my family and friends, who stood by me through every high and low, ensuring I never gave up.' Finally, the actress thanked her fans and audiences, saying, 'Actors are truly blessed to receive unconditional love and immense support from well-wishers we may have never even met. It's something I cherish deeply and never take for granted. There's still so much to achieve, a long road ahead, and many dreams to fulfill. Here's to the journey ahead!' Manjima Mohan first shot to limelight in Malayalam cinema with the immensely popular 'Oru Vadakkan Selfie', featuring Nivin Pauly in the lead. The Malayalam film was a superhit that fetched her recognition not just in Kerala but also all across the south. Manjima made an impact in Tamil cinema with the Gautham Menon romantic action drama 'Achcham Yenbadhu Madamaiyada'. She played the female lead in the film opposite Silambarasan. The actress has delivered several critically acclaimed performances over the course of the last 10 years. In fact, her most recent performance, which was in the Tamil web series Suzhal 2, has come in for much appreciation.
