So low you could see the pilots inside!

Oh...dear Me!

We're Doomed I tell ya....Doomed!

Let's see here....average person's vision....clear skies ( I was sitting outside the Pub your Honour...)...well...golly gee!

A quarter mile that could be I reckon....or could one be a bit more specific.

From the arrival end of the runway....what was the lateral distance from the extended centerline and how far from the threshold marks would this have been?

Does it not strike one as odd...that an airplane in the process of landing might get close to things and folks on the ground?

Do you wet yer pants when an articulated lorry passes the side of your auto going the other way at some great speed or is it just airplanes that cause you these anxiety attacks?
