I was searching up this photo for hours under "cathay pacific 747-8" then i just hit the photo and it said"747-267B(SF) | |
I agree with the poster who wrote that the thumbnail made it look like a 748!! I stared at the thumbnail for some time trying to figure out where in the modern world this type of takeoff could happen. Great Photo!!! | |
Nothing unusual for a heavy out of the old Kai Tak | |
WOW! No room for error there! But it's a cargo bird with nothing but water ahead of them... If they were going to take a chance, this was indeed the time to do it. Still pretty nuts if you ask me! | |
Looks more like a carrier take-off! Nice photo! | |
Aw ya fooled me! The thumbnail made this look like one of the new 747-8's but alas it's an old photo of a -200! | |
Bah, A340's do this all the time... :) | |
Loaded to the brink + hot air = late rotate. | |
Close call, for sure! Awesome shot! | |
The pilot said: V1, rotate (still not rotating), you can rotate now, I said rotate!! | |
Ok, you either rotate or pass away... as simple as it ;) | |
Great anticipation combined with spot-on camera positioning and framing makes for a dramatic photo. I think I can feel the sigh of relief from the flight crew! I doubt that the take-off was planned that way! | |
Awesome!!!! | |
Majestic liftoff cooly using all real estate. | |
Im sure the pilots must have been quite nervous when they started getting closer to the end of the runway! | |
Must Rotate! | |
Heavily loaded for sure | |
Close call | |
I thtink she was survey the runway | |
When he said rotate, he wasn't kidding! | |
Just a blind guess...given that this is about a 10000ft runway, the pilots may have been taking off with de-rated thrust...meaning less than full power. Obviously this plane was heavily loaded, but I can't think of any good reason why the full 10000ft would have been used! | |
Classic photo!! However, someone mentioned a 'well calculated V1". Sorry to disappoint this person but they don't know what they are talking about! Using almost 10,000ft to get airborne is not what I would call a well calculated V1!! And in any event surely you mean VR!! ;) | |
They paid for the runway and used all of it! Fantastic photo! 5* | |
WOW! That was close! Great photo! | |
Wouldn't call it 'close'... more like a well calculated V1 and an aircraft performing just as it was designed to. Great photo! 5* | |
Nice scenery. | |
Wow! Close! | |
Great | |
That was a Very CLOSE Call! Excellent Picture! | |
Almost!!!!! | |
A plane taking off at the tip of the runway! Rare picture. | |
