13. I decided as the light was pretty much strait on the nose i'de stand on the center line of the runway, Poker 1 came in at a decent hieght but was still pretty noisey

14. Poker 2 came in a fair bit lower and almost took my head off, About 100m away from me i saw a puff of smoke come out the back as the pilot gave it a squirt of power and i thought this is going to be :grr: low and :grr: loud :lol: .
