Had a trip to Manchester International to shoot some jets, and on the way home called in at the local grass airstrip. I still need more panning practice to get the second shot right :thinking:

I flew from Barton once. There's a ski jump about 1/2 way down the runway. Great for take offs but scares the %$£* out of you on landing. Didn't take a camera :cuckoo:

I do have some more, not may are that good. We went just on the off chance really. I will go again with more planing next time.
