Title: A near miss?
Post by: TerryW on July 21, 2009, 05:07:40 PM
On the flight back I was filming out of the window. When I looked at the videos at home this is what was shown on one of them. Was it a near miss? The plane from the left certainly seems to change its path and the planes go out of focus.

it does look like it swerved up to avoid it... how can you not see another plane coming towards you.

OH ..... MY ....... GOD !!  Terry, you're a very naughty boy for putting that on!  On the way to corfu in June, a plane flew just underneath us, must have only been a 1000 feet below.  I swore i could see the freckles on the pilots face!  Swore a bit more as well! lol.

Well, we're thinking (hoping?) that it looked worse from a distance than it actually was.....

So its not just me Mick!  Billy says, why are you watching this????  I say, so i know that they can fix the planes so it doesnt happen again!  Then when i get on a plane I'm bl**dy terrified!  lol.

Two fighters playing games in practise (I think) but I must admit it does look scarey. Viv

I've seen the thread "A near miss" several times now and avoided even opening it - I'd an idea what it was about...  Anyway, too late now - but I daren't open the video just in case! I'm a big wuss when it comes to flying x
