Details:
Flying in the stratosphere at 14000m was an incredible experience to watch the eclipse. I never saw anything like the shadow of the moon rushing on us during totality, overtaking us and continuing its path at 3000km/h. This was a dramatic perspective.
Our velocity of 950km/h allowed an extra minute of totality. The views of the corona were incredible, with Venus shining on the east side.
Here's the timelapse showing the shadow moving above the clouds:
