PalmettoTiger 1 #1 November 25, 2001 So, yeah, I found these pictures and frankly if I was on a jumbo that came at the airport at a 45-degree angle, I would be pissing myself. The beach approaches are kinda cool though, I've seen a few pics of Otter pilots doing flybys, but those definitely take the cake.http://www.aviationpics.de/app/app.htmPS What does NCA stand for? Non-???? Approach...? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheMarshMan1 0 #3 November 25, 2001 The three-letter identifier of the airport maybe? I'm too lazy to look it up, but I think thats what it is. I'm a pilot, never heard of NCA...but I learn something new every day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhreeZone 20 #8 November 25, 2001 Nope... thats the actual Flight path. The runway is at like 7 feet MSL and only 100 feet off the water. It kinda of an illision where everyone is, the area under the runway is cleared and people are'nt allowed under it. And the turblence is'nt that bad when it's instanly being hit by the ground. The sand is hard packed in that area to keep it from blowing up and creating dust clouds.This photo came up on an Avaition bullitin board last year as I was lurking it.I'm not sure what to put here right now.....

PhreeZone 20 #11 November 26, 2001 Thoses are actual untouched photos. The plane in the first pictue actaully hit the blast fence at the start of the runway because he was so low.I'm not sure what to put here right now..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
