The wings are very long

If I had a nickle, I'd give it to the photographer. And believe me, I don't hand out nickles liberally anymore due to the global recession.

What a beauty! Great airport, great airline, great pilots...

A visitor from United States posted Thu May 11, 2006:
I was just flying on one of those birds . . . this is a great shot that depicts the beauty of the airplane from the outside! Wonderful work; you did a good job catching the aircraft at an interesting angle, too. I love those triple-slotted flaps and slats when they are deployed like this, especially on a Kai-Tak approach. The airplane looks like it is glaring down at the earth - I love the design of the cockpit windows of the 744. Again, nice!!!

A visitor from Poland posted Thu May 11, 2006:
