Headed down to Pik for the Beast, along with Rab and Fred , we decide not to follow the heard, and decide to see what different angles we could achive
Our plan was to head out and get some head shots of the AN225 departing ,as the runway was wet we were hoping for plenty of spray

ZD949
XV104
EI-DAL
F-GCBG
G-LOFD
EI-DLN
UR-82060 landing
LX-OCV kicking up some spray aafter landing
N499MC landing
a little wobbel on take off , then the Runways changed
So we headed to the other side , but even at 400mm this was still to far out for our liking
EI-DAL lobbing the AN225
EverGreen 747 N485EV
And another antonov this time a AN26 YL-RAC
Cable & Wireless EI-CSC
and finally the AN225 departing , with the hordes of fans looking Ur-82060 doing wheelies

Cheers guys,
Im still drying out myself Rab , but i think it was well worth it ,if the sun had been out we wouldnt have got as many good shots due to heat Haze
Steve: Yes it is a optical illusion,they are standing on a large bank which is above the fence line , so really good spot for taking pictures,,it is close to the runway , but not as close as it seems in the picture

All great shots..those lads in the last shot look awfully close to the runway or is it an optical illusion??
