A visitor from Uruguay posted Sun November 5, 2006: WOW! This shot is just amazing. So low.
A visitor from United States posted Thu August 3, 2006: It's not so hard to comprehend. at my local airport i see this stuff almost daily. look at the hieght of the plane off the ground, he has probably been airborn for around 4 to 6 seconds, some pilots are trained to retract gear at the moment vertical speed is achieved. however this pilot is very talented to float it twice the gear hieght at that speed. good job and good picture.
