Landing Airplanes

Challenge #10 in the Other Photos series. Hosted by xpda.

Challenge has finished

Photo should be of a plane landing. Any powered airplane or unpowered sailplane, from an ultralight to an Antanov AN-225 to the Space Shuttle will be fine. Hang gliders, powered parachutes, and anything without wings are not fine. The plane should be landing, not just on approach, that is, the plane should be over or just on the runway or landing area.

Nice, congrats. Time getting out of the water right and no need for a towel, just use the jet wash.
