I like the first one best but both look a tad underexposed.

Just shot that guy myself on a trip with a group of boy scouts - taken from the deck of one of the Discovery boats? I just flew in last night, dumped the photos this morning, have to wait 'til the weekend for the rest of the work.

I agree with the "amazing" part - I swear he took off in about 100 feet.

Somewhere on the inet there's a video of a short takeoff & landing competition. I couldn't believe it!

Here's my best shot "straight from the camera." I hoped that I'd picked one up that showed the end of the bar he was landing & taking off on to get a better feel for the distance, but no luck.
