Care to jump up and touch it!

Being in such close proximity to low flying aircraft, it would be haven for spotters and photographers

On the first pic, the guy with the bike on the left it covering his ears.

Have you seen the photos from St Maartens airport. They are even more impressive……………well i think so anyway.

I’m even more convinced now that the first photo isn’t real.

The aircraft in the second one is much higher (relate the size of the aircraft to the size of the people in each photo), also if you relate the position of the aircraft to the position of the white writing on the road one or the other aircraft is way off the runway centre line.

Still haven’t convinced me. lol.

Woah! Thats low plus the guy next to the car looks like he is crapping himself!!!

Heres another same airport different angle http://images.airliners.net/open.file?id=401658&WxsIERv=Nveohf%20N320-232&WdsYXMg=GNZ&QtODMg=Vyurhf%20%28-%20Wbetr%20Nznqb%29%20%28VBF%20%2F%20FOVY%29&ERDLTkt=Oenmvy&ktODMp=Nhthfg%2014%2C%202003&BP=0&WNEb25u=Pneybf%20N.%20Zbevyyb%20Qbevn&xsIERvdWdsY=CG-ZML&MgTUQtODMgKE=Bcrengvat%20syg%203452%20neevirf%20hfvat%20ejl%2029%2C%20jvgu%20n%207%20xabg%20gnvyjvaq%20pbzcbarag.%20Fbeg%20bs%20erzvaqf%20zr%20bs%20n%20pregnva%20Pneevorna%20vfynaq…ohg%20abg%20dhvgr.%20Vg%20frrzf%20gung%20gur%20thl%20arkg%20gb%20gur%20juvgr%20pne%20rkcrpgrq%20gur%20jbefr%21&YXMgTUQtODMgKERD=36076&NEb25uZWxs=2003-08-15%2000%3A00%3A00&ODJ9dvCE=&O89Dcjdg=1628&static=yes&width=1400&height=1019&sok=JURER%20%20%28cynpr%20%3D%20%27Vyurhf%20%28-%20Wbetr%20Nznqb%29%20%28VBF%20%2F%20FOVY%29%27%29%20%20beqre%20ol%20cubgb_vq%20QRFP&photo_nr=58&prev_id=465543&next_id=401657 It seems that the guy next to the white car expected the worse!

Surprised theres no big shadow

If you look at the far right of the photo Spence you’ll see part of a shadow about a fifth of the way up the photo.

Surprised theres no big shadow

Great shot. That would be bloody impressive

Steve your right, it is, but I guess if the bus was 3-4 seconds late then the point still remains 😀

tell you something, that double decker bus isn’t far away from the underside of the 320, gees

It’s an optical illusion, if you look carefully, the bus is way past the underside of the Airbus, spectacular shot though!!!!!

I have to agree with Flex and FP, they will have probably have see that plenty of times before
Its a great shot though!

Also if you search for other pictures from that airport there are a few others like that. Looks like a great place.

The people are mostly looking at something off to the left of the picture. Even the people to the left of the picture, like the guy on the bike, are looking away from the aircraft.

If an A320 was that low over your head, surely even non-enthusiasts would be looking up, if not diving for cover.

Don’t forget these approaches are the norm in Ilheus. The local people will be quite used to seeing them, and they are probably not really bothered/interested in them because its such a regular occurence.

I’m not convinced that is for real.

What do you think?
