Just wanted to share what I had the good luck to see last week.. Contract gear-raiser slash ice-getter on a King Air 350 flight from Nashville to Fort Worth a week ago - earmarked the $$$ earned to replace 6yr old bifocals! Track log showed FL260. Saw items 1-6 simultaneously (even the 120* Parhelia).

1 - Sundogs​
2 - 22° Halo​
3 - Parhelic Circle​
4 - Upper and Lower Tangent Arcs​
5 - Sun Pillars​
6 - 120° Parhelia​

Highlight of the trip!!!!

PS: Sorry about the camera focusing on the heating elements & bugs in the front windshield.
PSS: We had a wonderful dog named ‘Moondog’ for 15 years. Same thing, only around the Moon.
