I must have been standing on a dune ridge, possibly the one behind the camp, to get this shot I’ve titled, ‘Calanscio Sunset’.
While the mechanics were recovering our crashed Land Rover I took this photo of the shifting sands on the dune our driver had used as his takeoff ramp.
After this hard landing, today’s photo shows this flight was not quite as far as the Wright Flyer. And I wouldn’t say the flight could be defined as ‘controlled’ either
Now jumping back to the Calanscio Sand Sea in eastern Libya in 1991 for a photo of a hard landing.
For today’s photo I’m going back to 1990 and the sand dunes I worked in western Libya and where one of our drivers was learning to fly.
Here’s another view of the crew dune shooting. The vibs are pretty much in the same location as yesterday’s photo.
