This is why, pilots fly.
This is an approach and landing from the west into Queenstown, South Island, New Zealand in late afternoon, using a GoPro in the cockpit. The cloud layer is generated by a beautiful lake. The awesome visuals are very similar to the mountains around Juneau, Alaska.

Talk about having faith in your gear...and your pilots!
