A very close Picture

In the British Royal Air Force had to take a snapshot of a combat aircraft.

The task of the pilot - to fly up to the tail of another plane to the photographer did a good photograph.

Question on the radio - How close to fly up?

Answer - So close as you can ...

No sooner said than done:)

Juancho E. Yrausquin Airport (Saba)

Juancho E. Yrausquin Airport is the only airport on the Caribbean island of Saba, in the Netherlands Antilles. It is well known among experienced fliers for the way in which airplanes must approach or take off from the airport.
