    you can see the pilot in number three and the passangers in the last one - great photos.

    I'm guessing that you must have been fairly close judging by the angle the photo was taken onne_nau.gif

    How's the hearing this evening ?

    They are quite happy to have photographers about.

    Royal Flying Doctor for remote locations.

    Did you use your 400mm for these Gus?
    Those Flying Doctors do a wonderful Service to the remote communties,
    a lot of folks would die without them.

    You can indeed see a lot of the passengers in that last shot.
    Wow you did get close didn't you....... good stuff Gus thumb.gif .... Skippy :D

    Good work.....you got some nice shots.
    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Definitely some clean sharp shots here. Still, I'm wondering why in some
    of the frames you choose to leave some of the plane out when you might
    not really need to do so. 5 & 7 specifically. Just curious. :D Michael

    Tks Daddo0. Cropping can change a photo entirely so i did crop one or 2...the rest are full frame as i am simply too close with the 400mm.

    Great shots gus! clap.gifclap.gif

    I find that most airports large or small have some sort of a public road that winds near at least one of the runways. I just use Google Maps to find which road can get me closest with the best angle!
