Wanted: high res OTW pics on short finals
I'm working on visualising landings with an attitude bat cutout thingy, and I'm looking for some pictures out the front window (little or no window frame showing) of a sealed runway on short finals (think aimpoint, aspect, airspeed). I don't have the opportunity just now to take the pics myself. 500', 100' or 50' would probably be good levels if possible (of the same runway!).
I'd prefer high-res originals so I can print them out - either PM me for email or I can download them from somewhere.
Oh, and relatively small GA fields please - I don't need to visualise landing at Sydney International just yet.
Cheers,

What length/width runway would you like? This is all relative, as different length/width runways give you a totally different perspective!
A 1500M runway that is 15 metres wide, will give you a totally different perspective to one that is 1800M long but 45M wide...

wishtobflying try using Google Earth (can be down loaded for free)
I just tried this and it works really really well for what your trying to achieve.
zoom right into your touch down point and line the compass and position up with your favorite runway (or the one your going to tomorrow) tilt the view angle over and then zoom in and out to get the approaching effect it even displays your altitude on the "eye alt" but doesn't tell you what the tilt angle is but you may be able to come up with something there.

It's not too bad, but it gets really blurry as you look down the runway (foreground clear, mid- to far-ground blurry). I'll play with it a little more and see what I can do. Cheers!
