| A visitor from Netherlands posted Sun April 16, 2006: Woow spectacular....! | |
| A visitor from - posted Mon March 20, 2006: I've always wanted to be on a missed approach plane. I just want to be thrown back into my seat and hear the roar of the engines once more. And I have always wanted to fly of the 747! I mean who hasn't!!! ;-) | |
| A visitor from Netherlands posted Sun March 5, 2006: Beautiful | |
 A visitor from Spain posted Sun March 5, 2006:Spectacular!!! | |
 A visitor from Costa Rica posted Wed January 18, 2006:I think is a beautiful shot because it shows the Jumbo jet going around. Not very often this happens. In this case was due to the other traffic remaining on the runway. There is a nice contrast between the colors of sky and the color of the 747. It also shows the power of the 747 lifting all its own weight without any problems. | |
 A visitor from Norway posted Sat January 14, 2006:Well observed and well done, and I don´t mean the pilots, nor the flight control, who should have acted earlier. What rules apply here??! PE Norway | |

| A visitor from United States posted Tue January 3, 2006: Great Shot! I bet the pilots of the 747 had a few choice words for the tower controller! | |

| A visitor from Netherlands posted Mon December 19, 2005: Hey Nicky! Sweet composition and timing! Too bad we can't hear the 747 screaming ;-) Groeten, en tot ziens! TvP -GreenBaron | |
| A visitor from United States posted Sun December 18, 2005: Outstanding shot ... reminds me of a BA 747 go around I saw at LHR a couple of years back, as a 737 was late vacating the runway ... this great bird looming out of the cloudbase, gear and flaps down... | |
 A visitor from Chile posted Sat December 17, 2005:I`m a flight attendant for Lan and the same thing happen to us 2 years ago at JFK. It was amazing the powerful engines sound. | |

| A visitor from United States posted Thu December 15, 2005: Good decision by KLM!!! It looks to me like the NWA still has spoilers deployed so she is not even close to vacating the runway. | |
| A visitor from Norway posted Thu December 15, 2005: Nice with several planes in one picture | |
| A visitor from - posted Tue December 13, 2005: Beautiful shot. Perfect lighting, both natural and otherwise. | |

| A visitor from United States posted Mon December 12, 2005: I like this picture because of the lighting and the airplane at the other end of the runway and also because I would like to be a pilot and like airplanes | |
| A visitor from Netherlands posted Sun December 11, 2005: Nice photo, I saw it from the other side going around on that day. It is rwy 06. | |
| A visitor from Netherlands posted Sun December 11, 2005: WOW! Amazing photograph with great lighting. | |

| A visitor from Netherlands posted Sun December 11, 2005: Nice picture! I'm also very curious what runway this is. It's most definitely not the "Kaagbaan (06)", because you don't see the office buildings (WTC) in the background. If I have to guess it's one of the 18/36 RWY's. | |

| A visitor from Mexico posted Fri December 9, 2005: What a drag for the 747 pilots to do a go-around. Was this shot taken from the runway they use to call "the Kaagbaan"? | |
| A visitor from Germany posted Fri December 9, 2005: Very nice moment captured during this special go-around! | |

| A visitor from Spain posted Thu December 8, 2005: Action at its best... | |
| A visitor from Germany posted Thu December 8, 2005: In the right place at the right time, dedication ! | |
 A visitor from Romania posted Thu December 8, 2005:Boeing 747 is indeed great - I wish, though, that Boeing would make an even bigger and more spectacular aircraft in the future. Maybe they will... | |
| A visitor from India posted Thu December 8, 2005: This really is a fabulous shot. Look at the jumbo lift off. The pilots should have put in a lot of effort to put the bird on flight again after a missed approach. As an airline employee i know how much relieved the cockpit crew would be after pulling away...gbala | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Thu December 8, 2005: Great Pic Passengers must have been very happy to lose 15min above AMS. Congratulations to the ATC controller. | |

| A visitor from United States posted Thu December 8, 2005: I always love shots of runways when they're all lit up like that. Also, it's cool to see the 747 climbing like that. A great picture of an old American design and an equally impressive newer one. | |
