No not really. But it sure looked like it.
I was in the middle of photographing a cross country ski and snoeshoe workshop, when I saw a WestJet airplane coming in for a landing at Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport. It looked like it would line up with the roofline of an apartment building so, I quickly swung the camera around and quickly shot a couple frames.
This is how the photo ran in the newspaper the next day. It was a little funny that the photo ran right next to an article about a smaller aircraft that had to make an emergency landing!
I was a little disappointed that none of the great skiing photographs ran, as this photo ran pretty big instead at 4 columns.
The caption (I didn't write) that ran with the photo in Mondays A3 newspaper page read:
"A WestJet plane lands atop a Winnipeg apartment building Sunday so the pilot can stop at his suite for a quick bite... NOT! The effect is just an optical illusion created by the plane's angle and altitude in flight, as seen from the Living Prairie Museum."
