Those last 2 pics are examples of why I try and avoid flying where possible!

And that's a great example of when perceptions get the better of your mind :D
To explain; there is less chance for you to die (or be) in a plane crash than in a car accident or even just walking on the road, or getting electrocuted at home, etc...I'm sure there are a lot of other incidents which are more frequent and look less scary. Don't worry it's not just you, it's the way the human mind works. ;)

I love flying, just not for too long. I also like it when they put extra sauce on my hotdog.

Every year more people are killed by donkeys than in aircraft crashes.

That Emirates shot looks insane!!!



Went to the landing approach of Adelaide Airport with a friend this morning to try out his new Nickoff lens. I shot these with my trusty Tokina 11-16mm.

Final approach - Virgin VH-VUG.

Roads. Where we are going we dont need roads! - JetStar VH-VQK.
Image

How low can you go - JetStar VH-VQQ.

This is a flamed German Albatros shot down in WW1. Looks like the pilot opted to go splat rather than burn to death first. Edit: or was already deceased and ejected from his falling plane.

Image

Edit 2: It seems the picture was a hoax. :)
