What an angle! | |
A handful, training flight on a windy day! a little too hot trying to make the landing zone. made it ..... good bird | |
WOOP WOOP GLIDE SLOW! WOOP WOOP GLIDE SLOW! Thats the fun of the DC-8, no mom-in-law or pop-in-law in the avionics bay yelling at you!! It's "WOOP WOOP GLIDE SLOPE!" not SLOW | |
It is real life Mr. Pilot, not a Flight simulator. | |
Nice its like ....you damned aircraft, i said we are going down!! | |
There' s a lot of job to do here before touchdown... | |
All i see is some freight dawgs at work. git er dun boys! - bvt shooter | |

Woooop wooooop "SINK RATE!!!" WOOOP WOOOP!!! | |
DC-8's with full flaps always had a nose down pitch. They were real airplanes, they had to be flared for landing. Real pilots flew DC-8's. | |
Beautiful ! | |
I'd say it is a perfectly normal approach. The long lens creates the illusion of a 'dive'. A nose down attitude is quite normal for most aircraft on approach. Full flaps,increased lift for same airspeed means more nose-down trim. | |
That fake pilot from Air india must have scored a new gig. | |
Pucker Factor = 8.5! | |
This guy used to be a Fokker 50 pilot i think. Great Pic!!!! | |
Rather that be happening in Flight Simulators Game not in real life or let it be the magics of the lens. | |
No guts, no glory. | |
Wonderful photo. Great capture. | |
Exactly the right moment to shoot!! Fantastic pic, impressive, even frightening. Thanks! | |
You want to know what the definition of a nose dive is? well, this is it. | |
Great picture, nothing scary about that, just another day in the life of a freight dawg. | |
Too much lift from the wings?? That is usually solved by lower airspeed. Anyway, great capture, crystal-clear with interesting background. | |
Well I see SOMEONE doesnt want to Go Around. | |
Aint nothin' a DC-8 cant handle!!!!! | |
Now thats a great capture | |
Just a Kamikaze approach due wind shear. Very nice moment! | |
Good photo! Did he land or go-around? | |
Wow mama!Def windsheer.great capture of this good old douglas. | |
FO to Capt: "That's a weird looking horizon we have there" | |
Great and unusual capture. Pines on ridge refers to x- wind from cameras left. Guess you had to be there to understand this airplanes attitude!! | |
Not every day you see a DC-8 in an apparent forward slip! | |
Thanks for the great comments everyone! The reason for this aoa is the pilot is battling a strong cross wind and caught the typical wind shear caused by a large hangar on the west of the threshold. -ks | |
Great moment! | |
Amazing pic !!! I read somewhere that on final you should never ditch the aircraft towards the runway oh I think the pilot skipped that sentence haha | |
Great picture. Was this aircraft at MHV on 23/01/2011? I am quite sure I saw it there having some maintenance done. | |
It is pics like this what makes this site an awesome way to spend time | |
Glideslope, whoop, whoop, pull up....... Excellent Capture | |
Wow....a tad scary shot! I'm guessing it landed ok though! | |
Yikes! That is scary. But she's a cargo hauler so no passengers to apologise to at least! | |
Looks like the a/c was empty and had to be nailed into the ground due to too much lift from the wings... it was similar with the Caravelles and other a/c... | |
I think this is the famous Sarajevo Approach. | |
This looks quite odd. Any reason for the steep angle? The lannding went on fine I suppose. Great picture! | |
The pilot's name is Karl. He used to fly Stukas. | |
WOW! must have realised that he was too high. | |
Looks frightening! I wonder how the view would be from the cockpit...almost like they were crashing. | |
Twit-twit...pull-up...twit-twit...pull-up... | |
