From: woodson%ucbernie@Berkeley (Chas Woodson) I was not there and have no more info than the newspapers give, which is next to nothing... But I recall when I was 15 and learning to fly they told me things like the following. "If you bank an airplane, the stall speed goes up. therefor, do not make sharp turns at low speed, particularly near the ground." I don't recall anyone with experience at sharp banks at low speeds being around to testify about the matter. I do recall we kids tryed such banks at high altitude and the point of the rule became rather obvious. And with a plane having 250 pounds/square foot loading on the wings, most any bank would be sharp. Why does one have to be so closee to take photos anyway? I'll bet Nikkon could tell us how to take a photo of a plane without running into it.
