I found this on another forum. Some great pics!!

Before anyone goes P.C., I know flying low is bad, dangerous, evil etc.

Just have fun with it.

Mike, these two shots were taken at La Aurora Airport, Guatemala. They swow an ENAER T-35A Pillan trainer and a Douglas DC-6 (TG-WOP), both belonging to the Guatemalan Air Force. They are beating the field down runway 01. The photographer is unknown, both photos are from my personal collection, having purchased them at La Aurora back in 2001.

TG-WOP is grounded due to main-spar corrossion issues, and was the largest airplane operated by the GAF.

Saludos,


Tulio

You know your flying too low when lowering the landing gear increases your altitude ;)

Not going to comment on what I had seen. We destroyed the video months later. But I have 2 pics that involve a DC-3 on the low side. So not to get my friend in trouble..............that is all.

Thought I would add this to the mix, the aircraft was included in the photo by accident.
It was recently sent to me, courtesy of a chap by the name of LeRoy Zimmerman (from Alaska), as it is one of the aircraft I operate.

Please visit LeRoy's website for some stunning panoramic photographs, not of aircraft but stunning none the less :wink:
