The plane did fly over us but I am sure not many people get to stand on a runway during a flyover. I used to stand under them when they were turning the engines. Back them up (they have reverse thrust), I almost got blown over one time! Wilson

PhotosGuy Cream of the Crop, R.I.P.  More info | May 02, 2008 08:41 | #86 They are huge and it is unbelievable how they can be 20 yards from you in the bush and you can't even see them. We had this elephant booked for an outside shoot. While we were setting up & letting her get used to the environment, Wanda "wandaed" over to some sumac & hid. I had to laugh. The top of her head & eyes showed over the sumac & she thought we couldn't see her. FrankC - 20D, RAW, Manual everything...

CTScrivener Member 229 posts Joined Jan 2008 Location: Tampa, Florida More info | Well, as dumb as this is going to sound and I know I will be flamed by the members where most likely for stupidity BUT, as long as you don't intimidate the creature and/or disturb or threaten it....most of the time you can get pretty close. I have never PAID to get close to an alligator but I have walked up on quite a few in the wild to get some nice shots of them. I wouldn't do that if there mouths were open but I do get within 2 - 3 feet of them.
