Thing,
East Yorkshire?

Third pic Bridlington, and 10 & 11 Whitby, I think, and Flamborough Head.

Possibly Spurn Point and Humber estuary in there too.

My own wake in the fog. A bit dnagerous, but I've always wanted to do that!

Short final into my home runway in the fog. It's longer than it looks!

Nice thread! :ok:

And the 'Above Cloud' one, too. All your pics are stunning. Between us, I'm sure we'd have enough to compile a coffee table book of pPrune adventures :E

Any shot with a big radial is scenic. San Carlos Lake east of Phoenix taken from B25 "Barbie 111" out of Falcon field Mesa.

LAX. Sorry. Not exactly scenic. Why do we need an ash cloud before this is permitted.http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7198/6...78756d6f_z.jpg

A few dreamy ones.

Hi Shortstripper,

Your photos, are they...

1) Chichester Harbour (overhead Fishborne ish)
2) Chichester Marina
3) Bosham, Thorney Island, Portsmouth
4) Pagham Harbour

Cheers,

I wouldn't have liked to be toddling along that road in Arizona when the meteor came down....

Flybymike,
I agree. You would not believe how small the meteor was that made such a big hole.
I was the silly b***** who drove for miles to see it when a 20 minute detour a couple of days earlier could have got an aerial photo.
What's more the Eagles song "Take it easy" glamourises the town. Of Winslow in a way it does not deserve.

wikipedia also says:

On August 8, 1964, a pair of commercial pilots in a Cessna 150 flew low over the crater. On crossing the rim, they could not maintain level flight. The pilot attempted to build up speed by circling in the crater to climb over the rim. During the attempted climb out, the aircraft stalled, crashed, and caught fire. It is commonly reported that the plane ran out out of fuel, but this is incorrect. Both occupants were severely injured but survived their ordeal.[24] A small portion of the wreckage not removed from the crash site remains visible to this day.

I read (locally) that the meteor was more like 10m across?

I've been there (sometime after it hit, admittedly) and the place is ISA plus god knows what, so it is amazing a C150 stayed airborne at all :) I did my FAA IR in Arizona though a bit further north.

Great Thread!! I have loads but I format in 1024 for photo bucket, unfortunately I have been warned but mods not to post that size so can't put them on here.

Regards Trev

After all, the views are a large reason we fly.

99% I'd say, and with the Yorkshire Dales an the Lake District 30 minutes away there's certainly some scenes!
