 I was my wife's first passenger after she had earned her wings as a private pilot. She took me up for an aerial tour of Tampa/St Petersburg, FL for our 10th anniversary. This was one of the best shots of our flight. Everyone should recognize the "final approach" look of the runway.

This will be my first challenge, and the first submission with my new 20D! Thanks ! ! !

As a pilot I resonate with this very well. Well captured. Hope it wasn't a reall approach because you're pretty high ... Among my top picks.

Nice shot, but now when I fly I'll be worry'n if the pilot is flying the plane or looking for a good shot for the challenge :)

Feels just a tad over exposed to me, but good concept. Hope you landed ok ;-)
