Notes:

Not the best quality I know, but interesting nonetheless. My heart raced as I saw this approach, as it was very very low. The 747 continued to descend but fortunately landed safely. This was taken during a typhoon which reached a number 9 signal a few hours later (Indicating a direct hit is likely).

We don't want 5* quality. Breathtaking approach and pic. at the end of the day, its not how many aircrafts you capture, its how about many aircrafts or pics that take your breath away..... and this is one breathtaking shot!
