Turning a plane around mid-flight is a rare occurrence and is often due to some sort of pressing mechanical issue.

When to take a photo of a plane?

What’s the best shutter speed for photographing a prop plane?
When photographing Prop Planes, you want to use a slow shutter speed to blur the propeller, showing motion. Moose’s starting off suggestion is to set the camera on Shutter Priority, using a shutter speed between 1/25 of a second and 1/125 of a second.

What should you do if you fall out of your seat on a plane?

Is the panda on the airplane really real?
We have a hunch that this living, breathing, bamboo eating teddy bear is heading somewhere special. He’s sitting beside someone who appears to be a wildlife professional or perhaps, his special appointed caretaker. Sadly, the panda isn’t actually real, but a giant stuffed bear.
