Oppose While an interesting look at the runway (and what appear to be ski runs on the mountains in the background), the image is detracted from the foreground of the camera location being featured prominently in the image. I think a side view of the landing also might have had more enc than this current view. In addition, it seems that the image might be tilted. Spencer^T♦C 07:10, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment The dashboard being in view is a matter of giving perspective for the landing, not just the runway. --Spartan7W (talk) 16:09, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - That might be true, but there's no way for a person viewing the image to know that is a landing, as opposed to the view from a structure there. A better perspective for a landing would be a side view that shows the vehicle landing. Spencer^T♦C 05:37, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Without you telling me it was a landing, I woulda just assumed it was a car driving onto the runway... I agree EV would be better from further away showing the landing... gazhiley 09:48, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
This is the sort of shot that works better as video. It's a good shot, but very hard to get the necessary context in. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 20:56, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
