and the beauty of Scotland:

There both mine ... And to others they might not be the best,
but to me they are ... And I think that's the case for all spotters around the world, that they like their pictures!

THey seem quite random concorde pics! But in fact it's very rare! this special day both air france and british airways concorde were in Geneva! I miss the concorde!

Knight255 · Post by **Knight255** » 09 Mar 2006, 03:35

I remember when I was on a connecting flight from LHR to Dublin and I saw, more like heard, a Concorde takeoff. What a beauty!!! I'd love to fly her if she were still flying for the airlines!! Oh, and the 777 is considered vintage??

Ovostar · Post by **Ovostar** » 09 Mar 2006, 13:02

Yeah, Concorde will always be the queen of airliners i saw it taking off at JFK, wow!

and when i said vintage i meant the 2nd picture

this one is well known and very scary:

GAAAHHH!! 8O That would freak me out!!

Ovostar · Post by **Ovostar** » 11 Mar 2006, 18:01

yeah, me too, the pic is CRAZY! what happened in the pilot mind ?

anyway here is another scary shot of a 777 tail strike in Zurich
http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0632272/L/

Apparently the 777 landing gear is farther forward than most pilots are used to. When I was at the AA Flight Academy, they had posters telling 777 pilots not to over-flare the landing to make a softer touchdown because of the risk of tail strikes. Rotating is the same, they had specific limits set and if you pull back too much to quickly, that picture is the result.

Same goes for the A340-600, the pilot's manual says that flare must be avoided because of the risk of tail strikes.

Ovostar · Post by **Ovostar** » 12 Mar 2006, 18:48

when a tail strikes happens, does the passengers feel it ?

Englishmen usually never take pictures

Dear Avro,

You really do need to get out more. Just start to surf the photo sites and you may find the odd British photographer!!! Some are actually quite good!
