Best article I've seen on this. Everyone else seems to think this kid is some kind of hero for surviving. Lucky he's not a spot on the plane.

Oh duh, saw him get lucky again on another site and it says Barts. lucky the Cessna missed him as a full frontal would certainly affect the aircrafts approach path.

A dumass photog meets with a bad pilot (approach) : unless of course the pilot was aiming for the dumbass.

Eh, don't you think the pilot was maybe showing off a little? Seems low. But that doesn't excuse anyone from being an obstacle distraction...

Isn't that what a zoom lens is for?

yes. and no. Zoom lens add bokeh, a good thing, but also magnify shake. In photography, it's hard to beat up close and personal.

You know, in some countries a person is still responsible for himself. Back in my day common sense ruled.
