The last tenuous rays of an already set sun catch the tail of Corporate Aircraft Charter’s Beech 200 BB-1150 (VH-URU) as it prepares to land at Adelaide Airport.

I discovered a little incident 5 years ago where this very same plane become the spectacle of the day by landing here on its belly when the pilot could not get the landing gear down. To make matters worse half of Adelaide’s aircraft enthusiast community were there to see the first arrival of the new A380. They got more than they bargained or had hoped for that day!

It’s funny the things I learn about the images I create.
