No not really Dennis. We were flying out over the sea. The only real worry for me was the road that was just starting to encroach on the landing approach. To counter this I asked for the runway to be angled slightly. It did mean having to land slightly crosswind, but the runway was wide enough not to present an issue. I demonstrated a dog legged approach which all of the pilots took on board very well, and managed throughout the event.
There was only one building which we over flew at that was a coast guard facility that was cleared for the duration of the event. The harbour in the distance was some 2km away and between us and that was waste land.
