Wow, you wouldn't want to be casting a fishing line out. Or playing frisbee with your dog.

Daryl, you've read too much of a certain thread for a single day... Take it easy!

You used to be able to get this close to runways here in the states if you were fortunate enough to live near a major airport. I spent a few years in Denver and (the now defunct) Stapleton IA had a hotspot to watch planes. It was a place to kill a Friday or Saturday night and drink . On Friday nights a 747 would be doing touch-and-goes for hours.

Sadly the modern age of terrorism won't allow much of that any more.

You can still do that at Reagan National Airport. There's a park just north of the airport that the planes overfly as the take off and land. You can hear the vortices in the air after the incoming planes fly over.

I wonder if they have a height restriction for vehicles driving along that road. Be a bummer for all involved if a 747 bounced off the top of a semi.
