"Report the news, don't become the news", a first lesson in journalism, was apparently not in this eager plane spotter's repertoire. Had circumstances been a few centimetres different, he may have been elevated from Plane Spotter to Spot on Plane. (www.theguardian.com) Más...

Isn't that what a zoom lens is for?

yes. and no. Zoom lens add bokeh, a good thing, but also magnify shake. In photography, it's hard to beat up close and personal.

hah yup! Who said plane spotting is boring?
You know, in some countries a person is still responsible for himself. Back in my day common sense ruled.

Eh, don't you think the pilot was maybe showing off a little? Seems low. But that doesn't excuse anyone from being an obstacle distraction...

Not the brightest, or the fastest reflexes. Barely good enough.

right, Gustaf III Airport; even Toncontín managed to get rid of the road at the end of the runway

now there's just the mountains at the ends of the runway

Idiots come in all sizes and shapes. Spot on the plane? More like idiot struck by plane crashes.

Best article I've seen on this. Everyone else seems to think this kid is some kind of hero for surviving. Lucky he's not a spot on the plane.

At least this time they didn't have to recheck the prop balance.
