Thumbs up OMG!!!

I think I held my breath through the entire video. I don't know what would have freaked me out more, the huge whale sharks popping up out of nowhere, or landing on the dirt landing strip. Tres cool!!!

At least you can see the dirt landing strip from a good ways......I never got use to the whale sharks just appearing.......And especially when one would have its mouth open coming at you......

Was really one of the smoothest landings ever......Notice there was no shake in the video when we touched down unlike on the larger planes......So don't let it freak you out......The smaller planes are much more fun to fly in then the larger...IMHO.....
