Flying away…

I took this photo while spending couple of hours with my brother at the local airport. Mind you, ‘the airport’ in this case is a little bit of overstatement, but it has some hangars and a runway :-).

What is interesting in this photo is the light on top of the tail fin. It’s strobe. Very bright and very fast strobe. It blinks about 5 times per second with 2-3 seconds between series of blinks. This one was the very first time I was was able to caught it on picture, ever.

Plus if you look closer you’ll see that my brother (who was at the controls) was actually flying at this moment about six inches above the ground.
