As a plain ordinary passenegr I had a couple of comments
1 On the vdieo is it an illusion or does the aircraft seem to check descent a short distance from the road ?

2 Surely the Greek authorites have some responsibility here. Space is title so they cannot move the threshold or extend the runway but there cannot be that many ops into Skianthos in a day that would make it impossible to either put up traffic signals for the road and have a cop or two to enforce spectator safety limits back behind a safe line.

I have loved watching aircraft all my life but having a massive steel and rubber landing gear a few feet over my head seems just insanely silly when I can geta better view just by standing 30 odd metres back from the centre line.
