Caught this while driving to the golf course on the east side of the island. The sign says it all!
I could see the plane was taking a lower than usual approach so decided to stop the car, and was so glad I had my camera with me! This is one of the two airlines that serve the island - one on the east side, one on the west. And this is one of the 'big' planes. The plane is about to land on the runway that starts just past a parking area to the right of the road, so while it looks like it's all trees, it's actually a wide runway lined with hangers on one side and a field on the other. I remember when they paved the runway, maybe 20 years ago. Before that, it was a grass strip.
@helenhall@carolmw@louannwarren I hadn't even noticed how much it looked like the plane was flying into the woods! It's actually coming in just over the very end (beginning?) of the runway so there's a wide open area in front of it. I just hadn't seen a plane come in this low before -- the runway is long enough that usually over the road they would be well above even a tall car or truck. Not this one, though!
