Thank you, Ryan and Tom for your responses. As for the airplane windows, - yes, indeed, - they are birefringent, - and that's the reason for not using polarizer with them.
Ryan, I haven't noticed any moire on my screen. I was watching for that while choosing the level of the USM.

But most of don't have that kind of cash laying around. If one can afford hiring (or even buying) one, - it doesn't even need to be that small, as long as you can open a window or a door in mid-air. :-) I wish I could. Tom, when you decide to hire a plane, please stop by and take me with you, - I'll show you the best places and angles to photograph. :-) Igor
