 A visitor from - posted Mon November 19, 2012:Perfect timing and angle by both the photographer and the pilot. | |
 A visitor from France posted Mon April 23, 2012:This photo makes the term "tailstrike" understandable to anyone | |
| A visitor from - posted Wed September 7, 2011: This is an amazing photo because tailstrikes are so scary. | |
| A visitor from - posted Thu March 17, 2011: The parts of this photo that appeal to me are: As others have said: there is great contrast between the pinky-gold main body of the B772 and the sky with good saturation. The photographer also needed to be on the button (irony intended!) to catch a shot of something doing 170 - 190 knots in the split second that it nearly tailstruck. It also documents a very close encounter of the grazed backside type! | |
 A visitor from Sweden posted Fri December 3, 2010:If it had tail-strike protection it would be an tail-strike! | |

 A visitor from United States posted Sun July 29, 2007:Shocking photo! I'm surprised they were letting aircraft take off up to this point with 60 kts of wind?! Fantastic capturee K. | |
 A visitor from Poland posted Fri July 6, 2007:Great photo | |
| A visitor from Saudi Arabia posted Fri October 20, 2006: Good Photo.... | |
| A visitor from United States posted Sat October 7, 2006: Amazing shot of a near tail strike. That had to be a 1 foot clearance for the most. Photographer had perfect timing in the perfect place. | |
| A visitor from United States posted Wed September 20, 2006: He is like 3 millimeters from sanding his tail flat. really cool shot. He is more like 3 milimeters from losing his job! | |
 A visitor from New Zealand posted Wed July 12, 2006:Great shot. If I understand correctly the -200 doesn't have tailstrike protection but the -300 with its longer fuselage does, so this rotation was 100% 'pilot'! | |
| A visitor from United States posted Tue July 11, 2006: Wow. Any more rotation and he gets himself a nice little tail strike. Interesting color contrast between the plane and the sky though. | |
| A visitor from United States posted Thu July 6, 2006: Very nice picture. Does the 777 have a tail strike avoidance system in its fly by wire? | |
| A visitor from Sweden posted Thu June 22, 2006: Wow, that's really close. I wonder what the airline would say if they saw this picture. | |
