To the visitor from Australia referring to the vortices off the tail. Those swirls are a result of the airflow off the inboard edge of the flaps. Vortices only form at edges when the upper and lower airflows mix, they don't form below the horizontal stabs. Wake turbulence is strongest and most dangerous when following departing aircraft. Anyway it's a great shot for sure! | |
Great shot | |
Epic wake turbulance!!! | |
LUV ATLAS | |
Awesome!!! Can actually see the ground effect as the smoke pattern!! :) | |
Catergory: Abstract Art & Artist: Atlas Air B744. Bravo! | |
Transporting lead by air? poor tires.. very good shot! | |
I hope they checked out the landing gear - and probably needed tires! | |
It's a cargo | |
Bet you that the passengers were a bit shaken up after that landing! | |
Featured in AERO magazine's January 2007 issue as one of the top photo's of 2006 (despite the shot being taken in 2005). The (German) caption read: "Eine ausgesprochene rustikale Landung", haha... And I first thought it meant peaceful... :O Btw The captain was like: 'Sorry for the rubber on the tarmac', or 'sorry for the gorgeous sight i gave you?' Clearly it should have been a mix at worst. | |
This is what i call a heavy bird. 5st for detail | |
WHAMMO! Great photo...love the intense detail and the ATC dialog was priceless | |
Awesome display of turbulence! | |
Tell one of the ATC staff to come and land one of these heavies and he'll know; no need to apologise. Marvellous photo with the air brakes and the flaps and the smoke....great shot Seth, keep it going. nagi from Pakistan | |
Good thing cargo neither pukes nor complains ;) | |
The great thing about being a cargo pilot and making this hard of a landing is that packages don't complain. | |
What a great shot - An excellent view of the vortices can be seen in the smoke! | |
Wow the elevators are creating wing tip vortices | |
Hahahaha, a plane fart. | |
Nice, love the rubber touching down and having a puff like that | |
Excellent | |
This is a really hard landing! Gorgeous shot! | |
This photo is perfect. Angle, lighting and the affect of those powerful engines makes this a five star shot. Well Done indeed! I love the 747, and they are really big girls, I am gobsmacked at how some captains put them down so safely,they are magnificent machines! Really a perfect photo, and thanks to the captain for such a perfect affect! | |
That has to be the most beautiful puff of smoke ever produced by a jet! | |
Cool photo! I love the smoke or dust effect | |
I believe you have to be very lucky to be in a possition, where it is possible to get a shot like this, it is first time I see one like this, great | |
That's the right place to be, nice job | |
Its good cos u can see spray bein flicked up | |
Thought it was a fab picture jst because u can see the lil tornados still appearing in the smoke perfect shot | |
Fantastic shot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 | |
Wow. These kind of pictures really show off the huge size of this beast! :) | |
Great time and beautiful pic! | |
I dont think the pilot should have apologised because those planes are not easy to put down. great shot though | |
Gosh huge power is in game! | |
Amazing Clarity...Great Job.! | |
Great Shoot, Beautiful vortex | |
Its beautiful i think that the atc should have congratulated the captain instead for giving them such a stunning display of raw power | |
Fantastic Very good work. | |
Was I on that flight? Nice shot! | |
Ok dude. Last chance.More 100 hours of simmulator. | |
That´s a great shot, because ist shows the power and weight of a 747 in just another way. | |
Great Photo capture, glad it wasn't one of my landings! | |
Great shot, Seth, congrats! It's neat when you can see a detailed manifestation of the aerodynamic forces acting on these massive aircraft, with the opposite direction of rotation of the horizontal stabiliser vortices clearly visible. | |
First of all, a brilliant shot. To capture the second of touch down is a great thing. | |
Got to love shots of vortices. Kinda looks like the captain was on the brakes at touchdown or its peeling out and doing a wheelie. | |
Very very good | |
Wicked cool!!! Wake vortices materializing out of tire smoke -- I can hear and SMELL that touchdown from here!! | |
This is a nice picture | |
Cool Pic! | |
I think this landing is magisterial.where was the fotographer. | |
What a great picture of wake turbulence. Very nice!! | |
Incrinable !!! spectacular!!! | |
Superb shot! Exactly the right timing. | |
Cool "swirl" effect. YEG | |
Great photo awesome landing I want to be a pilot my self and i want to fly a 744 but nice photo great timing | |
Awesome! Fantasic clarity. I can almost feel the wake turbulence form that giant. Nicely done. | |
Execptional | |
Great shot! right time to see the effect while lending | |
No apologies mate, thanks for that landing... | |
Awesome shot! great to see the wake turbulence and such an impressive A/C | |
At least the Captain didn't have passengers and flight attendents to apologise to! Absolutely stunning shot, and right at the top of my 'wish I'd taken that' list. | |
Awesome | |
Great angle, all together a great shot, I like it! | |
It's all in the timing & staying focused when the situation presents itself. A little rough on the aircraft I would imagine! | |
A fantastic rear shot. The landing may have been hard, but consider the fact that the Boeing 747 is a very forgiving aircraft. No matter what, she looks gorgeous from any angle. All the more reason that Boeing makes the best. S Meiyappan Ft Worth Tx | |
Looks like they landed on a geyser or something hehe ! Very nice picture :-) | |
This photo shows not only motion of the aircraft, but its size and power to generate massive wake turbulence. It encorporates everything that we love about heavies. | |
Amazing | |
Awesome steam kickup! | |
Good stuff! | |
I can smell the rubber from here hehe...great picture indeed! | |
Must have been a messy approach, with a marginal touchdown, but with a tough airplane, you can hardly hurt it too bad. Great picture. | |
I have already seen this event thousand times, but this one is one of the most impression photos that I have seen before. I had posted this photo to my desk wallpaper. | |
This is call the wake turbulence! I loving it. | |
Wonderful , wake turbulence votices | |
Nice shot Seth. No runway inspection required unless aircraft damaged or missing rubber when inspected by engineers on the bay. | |
What a picture, WOWWWWWWWWW. But sometimes I wonder how the pressure of the flaps. Just look at it, it's almost touch the ground. | |
WOW, | |
Very nice pic but could improve the landing. | |
BRILLIANT SHOT!!!! Ladies and Gentlemen if you care to look out the window you will see we have swirling vortex just outside!!!! | |
I'm not doing good landing these days. I didnt know that you get this kind smoke after a hard landing! so from now on, I will do my best to make it as smooth as possible. | |
Biggest landing vortex i´ve ever seen after a hard landing. Maybe ATC said WOW after touchdown. T.B. | |
Fantastic shot! | |
Did the captain say "Sorry for the vortex?" GREAT SHOT! | |
Runway check needed by airport ops maybe after such a heavy landing and a couple of new radials | |
It looks like a space shuttle that lands, because of the circles of the smoke when it touches down! | |
The most beautiful landing photo i have ever seen ... amazing ;-))))) | |
I like how the tyre smoke looks like wake vortex. An amazing picture, I love such hard landings! | |
Simply an amazing shot!!! | |
Wow, now that's what I call a smokey toucdown! | |
What a great photo ! | |
Oh my... that's crazy | |
Nice close-up shot. It really shows the difference in height between the tail section and the nose. Guess they really used their landing fee on this one. | |
Great shot capturing the motion within the photograph | |
I really loved the smoke and how you can see it turn as the plane displaces the airflow. Amazing picture! | |
Wow, look at those vortices. | |
Excellent vortexs | |
