DC-3 at Ardmore, New Zealand - can I say standing at the end of a runway behind an aircraft taking off isn't the cleverest thing I've ever done!

There’s an airport in the Dutch Antilles, Sint Maarten or something like that, where the runway is right next to the beach, and trying to stand in the jet wash and not get blown away is a popular pastime with the beach crowd. There are YouTube videos of this. Crazy.

Didn't something go wrong with that not too long ago?

Your plane pics are really great, Duncan.

Thanks Levina! I do like a lot of the old aircraft

They sure are impressive looking crates. And the way you shoot them makes them even more impressive. They’re great images.

Yeah, I remember someone dying because some heavy object got blown into them iirc. People aren’t very smart.

Thank you. Love those wide angle shots!

And that perspective distortion with the Army AF logo really adds to the character of the photo.
