The finding expands the desk's coverage area, though Mike cautioned that it may still be the same sky using a different entrance.
Mike Confirms Right Window Also Has Sky
Mike checked the other side of the small airplane and confirmed that the sky appears to be visible from more than one window.

Mike confirmed Friday that the right window of the aircraft also contains sky, expanding the Sky Reports desk's active coverage area while raising questions about whether the same sky can be counted twice.
The finding came after Mike completed his usual left-window observation and looked across the cockpit, where another view of pale blue sky appeared without having filed a separate flight plan.
"There is sky over there too," Mike said. "I want to be clear that this may not be additional sky. It may be the original sky with better distribution."
Coverage Expansion
Editors said the right-window finding creates a staffing challenge because Mike remains one person, one pilot, and one reporter, while the sky now appears visible from multiple angles.
"I can look left," Mike said. "I can look right. What I cannot do is pretend those are the same journalistic act."
Left window Sky confirmed before report.
Right window Sky also confirmed after cross-check.
Desk position Possible same sky, pending window review.
Mike said the ground did not contribute to the verification because it remained below both windows and too far away to answer.
Dual-Window Archive
The desk attempted to release the full left-right comparison file, but the export software treated the nearly identical views as a possible mistake and asked whether anyone was sure.

The Sky Reports desk said it may establish a rotation in which Mike checks the left window, then the right window, then returns to the left window to see if the original sky is still there during the investigation.

Mike said the right window will remain in the rotation as long as it continues producing sky and does not develop a personality separate from the left one.
As always, keep flying, my little skyheads.
