Reminds me of an occasion at CB.  A 150 was at the taxiway stop line farting
about for ages (no traffic on active runway) Up comes a Viscount and stops
about 20 feet behind it (maybe a little closer).  When the 150 eventually asks
for a lineup clearance - all the tower could hear was four RR Darts screaming
(like they do rather well) as he pressed the mic TX button.

It might have been a little quieter for him had he closed his window.

I'm not so sure.  "depth of field" gets distorted with a telephoto lens.

Ineed, it's clear from the haze effects that the 747 is really a long
way further back.

Sure does.....but when that 74 gets to where the 152 is, they'd better
have laid a whole heap of quick setting concrete to widen that runway!

Welllllll One could safely assume it was seeing as there appears to be
2 aircraft landing on it  (note I said appears) with what appears to
be insufficient separation.At a rough guess they aren't merkats lined
up along the edges......

But hey.....see in it what you wil :-)

That's generally your problem.  Maybe engage brain before hitting the

Usenet.

Not necessarily. And that's not the effect here either.

In fact the depth of field in that photograph is extremely good.

It is *not* photoshopped.

Lookee here.  http://groups.google.com/group/aus.aviation/msg/f85736f34de0b615?hl=en

Indded...however If you can tell me where and when a Jumbo landed on
that runway with a cessna which may or may not have it's engine shut
down ... then I'll accept that this is not shopped.

It's not a runway - it's a taxiway.

It's NOT shut down - the prop is rotating.

As opposed to irritating.

There ya go....now if you'd just said that the first time, you'd have
saved a whole lot of time getting to the point.
Thanks anyway,
Now maybe you could post the details to that site.

You're very welcome - BTW that particular B-747 has had a rather colorful career
if you care to do a Google on it's rego.

It's not a runway. See that taxiiway running parallel to the 08/26
runway?

<http://maps.google.com.au/maps?ll=51.202931,2.875242&t=h&z=15>

... of maybe they're on the turning circle at the 08 end. It's
hard to tell from the photo.

My friend Steve is an atheist. He has a bumper sticker that reads "Honk

If it had just landed, wouldn't all the flaps still be out, spoilers and
airbrakes deployed? I'm no expert but it appears that all of these are still
retracted. But the leading edge slats (if that's the correct word) appear to be
operated.

Not sure what configuration that is for.

Those are my principles. If you don't like them I have others.

JB - 25 Nov 2008 03:08 GMT

Take off....

Spoilers and flap are retracted as you leave the landing runway, so
generally aircraft taxying in are 'clean'.

You clearly have zero knowledge of the differences between taxiway markings
and runway markings.
