Just a couple. Part of my PPL out here in Sunny Florida involved landing at Orlando Sanford. Due to an MD-80 closing on us rather fast my instructor landed at KSFO, meaning I got a couple of photos…but I did the take off! What an awesome experience!

Approach on the main runway 9L

Just after touchdown

What was chasing our poor little Liberty.

Wow, so you went all the way to the west coast just because an MD-80 was chasing you in Florida!!! 😮
KSFO = San Francisco!!! :diablo:
Anyway, interesting pics. My records show I landed at Sanford on 21st April 1995 in Cessna 150 N9804J whilst I was doing my PPL. I recall being on right base for one of the runways, whilst a Falcon 50 was on a left base for the parallel runway – going “head-to-head” with a F.50 was an interesting experience!
