3rd Feb - A Close Shave

I was driving down the road to St Blanes
when suddenly the lights on the air field came on,
I pulled in to get a pic, I hadn't even got out of the car
when i saw a flashing light flying towards me!
I had only parked right in front of the runway
and this bloody plane was about to land on me!!
I had to reverse back a wee bit,
thats why i had to get the pic from the drivers seat heheh

its the first plane i've seen here anyway.

Landed:

Konica-Minolta DiMAGE Z2
1/60s f/5.6 at 6.3mm iso50 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

So cool. You should befriend a pilot and see if any of them would give you a ride for free. Aerial views add a whole other perspective to things.

Bringing in fresh supplies of genuine DM products perhaps?

You can feel the panic in your tone! It was worth it though Zak - especially the action shot.

Could've been nasty, it might have landed on your roof!!!

Wonder if the pilot got a 'snap' of the car on the runway! You should chat him up and get airborne... great photo opps.

You can get arrested for driving with a camera in hand. Never knew about Bute International, easyJet get everywhere these days...
