Very nice view & shot!
Ótima captura do 737-800 da GOL Linhas Aéreas. Isso é que é estar na hora certa e no lugar certo. Parabéns pela fotografia. 5+
Super shot Sig. Must appear unique to be standing on ground above landing traffic. 4,341 feet!!! I'll say that is short. I did most of my light plane flying on/off 5,000 runways (WWII Army Air Corps runways). But then today's thrust reversers and brakes must be very effective. Bet the commercial pilots aren't crazy about going in there:)
Wow! What a spectacular shot! The pov is great ... standing on the ground, above a plane banking into the airport. Outstanding image!!
happy 4th
Great shot of this awesome angle- thanks for sharing! :-)
I like the shot with the misty background and the information as well! That is pretty short for big jets. Just fine for good weather and if everything works correctly, but bad news if it doesn't.
Fantastic shot.
