A visitor from - posted Thu March 28, 2013: As someone mentioned previously, it's an illusion -- the birds are much closer. These probably aren't really big birds, but compare the size of the birds and passenger windows.

A visitor from New Zealand posted Sat December 30, 2006: You only get one chance of a shot like this the right place at the right time.
A visitor from Canada posted Mon October 23, 2006: An absolutely wonderful shot, however, none of you bird-lovers or passenger types need worry. this talented photographer used specific timing for this shot. Check the plane and how clear and sharp it is, now see that each and every bird is out of focus and none are near the fuselage of the aircraft. one more note the plane is on approach, not on take-off, flaps seem to set at 40 degrees...
A visitor from Bulgaria posted Fri September 22, 2006: Maybe Hitchcock would love it, but I think the pilots didn't

A visitor from Poland posted Mon June 19, 2006: Maybe yes or maybe no - I was freaked out when I saw this photo for the first time. Take a look at the birds: I think they were also freaked out...
A visitor from Romania posted Sun June 11, 2006: I think the birds are actually much further from the plane, so it's an optical illusion thus no birds were injured during this photo and the plane got away...i think
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Wed June 7, 2006: God i Luv the BIG 'bird'
A visitor from United States posted Mon June 5, 2006: Which bird do you think was sucked into the engine first?

A visitor from United States posted Mon November 14, 2005: I'm worried if they hit any of them...I hope not! That is CLOSE!!
A visitor from United States posted Tue November 8, 2005: I wonder if the birds thought it was a superior bird to them. Such as a mother, or father.. Very nice.
A visitor from Australia posted Tue October 4, 2005: Uh-oh! was it a bird strike???
