This person flew over our camp twice in the past couple of weeks. The first time they came over, I thought for sure the plane would hit the trees above me. I do have a depth perception problem, but I know it was way too low. It was only slightly higher on the second flight. Next time I hear it coming (it is extremely loud) I will try to get a picture. I could be wrong, but I think the island can create some crazy wind patterns that could really be deadly for such behavior. I know that sailboats usually stay a good distance away because of it.
