They come in quite low (this was taken with a zoom lens though) over Currumbin Beach on the Gold Coast.

Very interesting marketing technique going on there. The method confuses me a little. You see, you can read JET on the undercarriage. For you to be able to read that, it must be CLOSE. I would be upset if I were ever able to read that without using a lens like this. If you camouflage them to the skies color, then you might be able to get away with it. But then it wouldnt work! Either way, good shot. It gave me a reason to rant on your thread. Only because MA is AM.

Our house is under the flight path and we can read that 'Jet' (part of the company name "Jet Star" a low cost subsidery to Qantas for domestic flights) but they don't get anywhere near this low. That shot is not cropped at all. On the beach at Currumbin they are only about 2 or 3 k's from the airport so are getting low.
