WOW! Amazing shot! Given the chance, I can't imagine the thrill of being that close to a landing 757, SXM be damned! | |
FIVE STAR!! ... but you're crazy man... | |
5* for the whole thing here, your fearless position right under the blast zone, priceless. | |
The only way I could see this working or being some what legal, is if the photographer was a pilot / airport staff and the aircraft above was doing practice approaches / touch and go's. | |
Hey Jos'e! I can see ya reflecting on the plane body, just before the wing...You pretty cool Man! | |
I dare you to jump... | |
Like a Honduran, this type of pictures remembers me how the adrenaline rushes when I stand there, but believe me that AA pilots wont do a go around just because of this.. | |
I want to go to this place!!! Amazing! | |
Theres no better thing in this world that been in MHTG and be with the best photgraphers of em all Honduras Good job guys keep going | |
This is one of the best shots I have ever seen on Airliners.net. I know that if the photographer was standing on the runway he could have triggered a go-around by the pilots. Though dangerous, I believe the risk was worth it. Such a picture could not have been taken in most countries. Now, I hope the photographer doesn’t get jailed after publishing this frame…. | |
Toncontin is a special airport for those of us who fly there and like to take pictures here. A couple of years ago, there was a street in the place were this shot was taken, were all day long there was a flow of heavy traffic, including buses, cars, and trucks. By the time this shot was taken, the runway extension had just began and the same security divisions for the airport were still there. The only difference with SXM is that in TNT we don´t have a nearby ocean, but a couple of mountains surrounding the airport. | |
I agree with a couple of previous comments. The photo is technically fantastic. However it reflects the fact that Toncontin is not only dangerous because of its location but the lack of security in the runway. Even if you were an airport official you would not be authorized to be in that location with a landing aircraft. | |
Perfect. Getting an adrenaline shot just looking at it | |
You've got guts! | |
Just when you thought a bad location wasn't enough to make landing in this airport one of the scariest in the world.....Access to its only runway is like a walk in park. Great capture nonetheless! | |
Better than the SXM aproaches! | |
Sometimes a great idea pays off!!. This one did!!! 5 stars for effort!! | |
Surely you weren't permitted to get this close to a moving aircraft... Great picture though! You are braver than me! | |
You are visible on the fuselage xDDD | |
Been there, done that!! but with the sahsa 727...way back then. Nice photo nonetheless!!! | |
Indeed an awesome pic, somehow suicide but still worth the shot!!! | |
Amazing! I would have like to have known what was going through the pilots heads when they saw you? Something like, "What the @$%! is this guy doing?" ***** Wayne C. | |
Incredible how clear this picture is....and is that the photographers reflection on the fuselage?? | |
You put the camera on a tripod and used a remote control? Right? Anyway, 5 stars | |
Wow how did you do to take this picture? | |
Was he standing on the piano keys? Awesome shot. I hope he is still hearing | |
Mind your head! | |
You are my idol! 5 stars, no doubt | |
Beautiful picture the reflection is really wonderful compliments Fabrizio Farina | |
Amazing shot location, not very safe I'd say... ;-D | |
The most craziest photo i have ever seen. 5 stars without a doubt! | |
Totally unreal | |
Amazing shot ! 5 stars ! | |
Bye bye SXM welcome TGU...crazy photo | |
AWESOME ! | |
I am wondering what the pilots are thinking??? | |
Amazing, if this picture was taken from which it appears. You have them stuck to his ass. | |
You wanna lose your head?! | |
Pretty cool shot, but should one be on an active runway? | |
Amazing shot! It looks like it's going to land on us! | |
The tree on the ridge is probably the most famous/photographed tree in aviation by now LOL... thanks for such an awesome shot | |
Woooooo, simply stunning, could not guess it was possible to push the boundaries that far in terms of close up. Your pic brings it to a all new level. | |
Amazing! This was taken in 2008, did they just now let you out of jail? | |
YEAH! Outstanding perspective! Did you stand there or did you control the camera by remote? If the first one you are crazy ... but I think that's very cool! | |
Very unusual angle | |
Looks lower than Princess Juliana airport | |
You're crazy man. I've never seen one like this before! | |
Wowzers.....How?! | |
Most amazing shot!! 5 stars is not enough!!! | |
Very nice, definitely one of the best pictures on A.net. 5* Xavier | |
Whooooooaaaaaa nice! | |
Guarito for president! Yet another great picture. Congratulations. CB | |
Where were you?!? Incredible picture. Nice shot! | |
That main gear looks like it's about to take off your head. Duck! | |
Absolutely stunning. | |
Probably the most awesome pic on A.Net! Would love to know how fast you ran after this pic to get out of the blast zone? ha. | |
Though this is a masterpiece, i am really concerned that sometimes people go to the extent whereby, they put themselves and others in an harmway, one of these situations is this one, very close to landing, dangerous move in my view. | |
It looks like this was taken ON the runway! I can feel the wake turbulence from my computer chair. | |
"mind your head" | |
Are you still alive? Can you still hear? Did they go around? You seem to be very brave! ;-) Lufthansi | |
WOW!!! Brilliant!!! | |
