So I start to hear loud jets...

Then all the sudden...

I was like holy...!

The tower guy was surprized and ran outside with his camera (probably why this happened  ::)), but he was too late...

Bonus:

A cessna pilot took this shot out his window:

Most likely your approach was too slow.
Because of AI, I got used to approach much faster, and reduce my speed very late, to avoid this kind of problems :P

I like the last shot of the snowy grounds a lot. It just looks cool :)

Yes last shot is very nice.   ;)

Whenever I am flying my little bugsmashers around those big city airports and I am on final I do this:
1-put on my 4 way flashers
2-use my air horns a lot
3-open window, stick out my arm and motion them to pass
   me on the left
4-turn off my radio as those controllers can be more
   annoying than the old girl

There you see all the help you get and it is only the start of 2010.   ;D    ;)

Good shots by the way.   ;)

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

I'll have to try reducing speed later.  :P

Thanks for the compliment on the last one.


I'm not sure what's with the lights on my AI.  ;D
