What a shot of one of the 2 finest 60s jet airliners built weather just right good crosswind reminds me of Anchorage on a good day when I hauled DC 8s and 707s out in the 70s many thanks for the memory | |
A classic 4 engined airliner, captured the action very well and a very atmospheric overall impression | |
Thanks again Fred! That's how we looked leaving Scotland back in 63 on the way non-stop to Winnipeg and a new life! | |
Rare picture shot during take off giving us a chance to look this kind of fantastic views | |
Great photo of a great aircraft, built by a great manufacturer, Douglas company. | |
Wonderful pic. Great aircraft and you can almost hear the sound. Miss flying them... | |
Great pic | |
A proper plane, from noise to nacelles to nostrils! Nicely lit and the weather knew when to stop raining and allow a blast of sun in to light this lovely bird's takeoff. I can remember these things shrieking into EGCC when I was a kid and all that noise and kerosene smell just comes back when you see these things "launching". Thanks for the shot. | |
Just good to see the old DC-8 | |
Superb photo! | |
A perfect shot of a perfect plane. | |
Well composed I thought. Lighting effects are really good. Grey darkness in background, sunshine in forground. Lots of action. Acft slewing left to compensate for crosswind. Wings at slight angle as pilot gets it crabbed correctly. Spray from acft departing runway being blown downwind. Runway lights disappearing into the spray. The angularity of the approach lights. Good photography in my opinion. From Mike in Canada | |
As an avvid plane spotter I can really apprecieate shots liek this it just reeks od history power beauty and everything wonderful about flying | |
Superb Photo! | |
Taken from an unusual position this photo is unusal but at the same time shows the plane in a good level of detail cosidering the distance involved | |
Great photo Fred, love the DC-8. He's not in a "twisted yaw" on take off. The wind is coming from his left (as evidenced by the direction the water spray is moving) and he's simply crabbing into the wind to maintain runway center line. | |
The photo captures the aircraft in a twisted yaw on take off - could possibly be the angle of the shot. or slight wind shear, pilot shouldve adjusted right trim before full rotate throttle up. | |
I wish I could hear the noise..:( | |
Fantastic | |
A very nice photo Fred-Malcolm Bezzina | |
Nice to see an dc 8 and a great photography. | |
Once in a life time shot. | |
My favorite aircraft.. ;) 5 * well done | |
What a great picture! It's great to see those classic DC-8s still flying. It almost brings tears to my eyes. | |
Power at its best!!! | |
Great! | |
I'm sorry but this is a 6 stars worth B7Sté7 | |
Very nice shot! You can clearely see the DC-8's so special fuselage with the two intakes on the nose. | |
This picture deserves the best rating, marvelous. By the way the same is true for the aircraft. Best rating ever. Its only a shame that we don't have the chance to see them here in Europe. I can almost hear the ringing in my ears from the sound of a departing DC-8. | |
It's cool to see the smoke from the engine anf the spray! | |
What a moment ! | |
Very good timing on the shuttle. | |
Powerfull aircraft Powerfull picture 5 star | |
Beautiful aircraft,the best | |

Soooperb Fred! Love it! Regards from Motherwell! JT | |
My favourite aircraft in full action! Tnx Fred. Dee-see-eit | |
This shot is full of action. Well Done. | |
I never get tired of these end of the runway shots, especially with a 4 engine beast blowing up spray. Very nice work. 5 stars. | |
Wow! Dramatic picture of this classic beauty clearly showing the strong crosswind by the spray drifting to the side. You had a bit of luck with the light but this capture was created by a skilled photographer. Well done! | |
