BOEING 747-8 (D-ABYG)

Great pic !!

thank you Viv!!

passengers on these 747's are given a most comfortable travel experience, and the view of this aircraft with the vortices off the wingtips, the thrust showing of the 4 engines, this is power, beauty and style with class. Airbus has really nothing to match up.

If that is the twice a-day flight from Dulles to Frankfurt, she will be over my backyard in two miles. A twice a day thrilling sight accompanied by the sound and feel of true power.

The vortices off of the engine fins are way cool too!

Awesome photo! Thanks. Surprisingly the mains are only about 20' AGL, and appears to not even be over the runway yet. Given the length of the aircraft and deck angle, I'd be more than a little nervous at that point if I were PIC. Guess that's why those captains get paid the big bucks. Just seems low to me.

cool

Very cool!!

Love this type of pic.

epic pic

Thanks for another one of your good photos.

thank you leon!

It's sad more airlines didn't give the -8 a chance. Sure it lives on through hauling cargo, but not nearly as popular as the -400.

that is a good looking airplane Power and strength clearly evident. Being a photographer, i think i may know how such a nearly perfect shot came to be. Motor Drives with lots of film allow gauging the light, the sunset, the elements sought and captured. A few shots in succession and one gets to pick and choose something of this gravitas. bravo.....
