IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

Title comes from an aviation term describing the last portion of a landing
approach. Hopefully the analogy is obvious.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

The flower was created by making afreehand polygon of one petal, this was then
extruded and slightly beveled. The petal was then rotated slightly. Then copied
and positioned repeatedly til the full circle.  The center of the flower is
just a deformed sphere with a bump map applied.  The bee was formed from
several deformed spheres and extruded circles. Custom textures were manually
created in Paint Shop Pro 4.0 for the background, bee body, and wings.
