It's pretty close....!This is the spot where the air plains in training are landing - and also starting - to their training flights. It's impressive and also scary looking, to see them fly so close to the ground.

Hi Susanne,
ReplyDeletegreat photo, but it's also somehow a little afraid. As if the plane just crashes.
(I hope, I have spelled it correctly.)
Greetings
Yvi

ReplyDeleteIt seams it will crush..!!
Bye
Dario
great photo. but i am an aircraft fan in particular.
ReplyDeleteHi Yvi,
ReplyDeletedu kannst mir auch in deutsch schreiben ;)
Vielen Dank fuer deinen netten Kommentar.
Mille grazie per il tuo commentario, Dario!
ReplyDeletehas there been any history of crash around the area, i hope not, it appears to be too close to the ground level, nice shot anyway Sue. Greetings Hans
ReplyDeleteIt is impressive and if I would be in that plane, I would be scared s...less. An amazing photo.
ReplyDeleteThank you Hans for your kind comment.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog, Peter :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind comment, "The Cabrals".
ReplyDeleteAlmost looks like a trick photo for a disaster movie! Don't expect to see something like that at that beach.
ReplyDeleteIt's not THAT close, Marty.... it's also a little bit an optical illusion here :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting.
I think they have the calculation before did that and you too may be will have your own calculation to take the photo from the below of the flight :)but it too dangerous, of course.
ReplyDeleteamazing & beautiful photo..Sue
Of course, Murad... it is only an optical illusion, it just looks like so close to the ground. No good pilot would take such a risque - or he is not a good pilot, right? ...*smile*...
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment, very much appreciated!
Wow, it looks as if it will crash..makes for a dramatic shot!
ReplyDeleteIt was also pretty close, but still far enough :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment, Joan.
Susanne this photo brought some sad memories from 1995 when I saw Nimrod (similar plane as on your picture) crushing into shallow waters of Lake Ontario during air show. After all this is nice photo. Thanks for sharing. Anna :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Anna for stopping by.
