Description
There's always a wonderful feeling of release--or is it relief?--when the aircraft I'm in leaves the ground and lurches into the air. I know a lot of people hate flying in the smaller airplanes, but I actually prefer it. For one thing, one is usually much closer to the ground and it is fun to see the world suddenly miniaturized in wonderful detail.
On the other hand, landing in a small plane can be rather unnerving as I watch the ground rush up to meet us. When I lived in Lincoln, Kansas, I had a friend who owned a small plane. He would take me flying now and then. The landing field--really a field!--was on the top of a small ridge. It was a relatively small field but you still could not see the end of the runway! A barbed wire fence ran across the end of the field and what was left for runway space was much shorter than on the other side. I definitely did not like landing there.
Thanks for looking. Also for all those other comments and encouragements on my previous postings.

I love flying in Ultra-lights Great render

That's a nice piece, I like these kinds of pictures, I think it's because I've always wanted to fly in a little plane like them, but never have. It looks like fun to me. Nice render!

Never have flown personally either small or commercial as of yet ..it's on my bucket list...(smile) Nicely Done Landscape/Scene! -=Will=-

Nice! Landings and takeoffs always make me nervous in any sized plane. After all, that's when you're closest to the ground. If you drop a thousand feet at ten thousand feet, no big deal. At five hundred feet....

Nice one Jeremy!

As the saying goes, "Takeoffs are the second most exhilarating thing in the world--right behind landing safely". Nice job on the "D"...

Eloquently put, I can relate to your feelings.I prefer smaller planes on the grounds of, less complicated and less weight :-) Great render Jeremy....Per Adua Ad Astra (J S Yule)

Nicely put Jeremy. I've never flown in a De Haviland Beaver, but when in my military service spent many a trip on its larger cousin the de Haviland otter, & of course plenty of twin Huey rides, I loved it when the pilots hugged the ground, it was such a rush. There is something very appealing about flying in a bush plane, it takes you back to another era. Well done Jer.
