Aircraft Taken at More: Cathay Pacific Airways More: Boeing 747-467 More: Vancouver - International (YVR / CYVR) More: Canada - British Columbia, March 29, 2006 Remark Photographer As the observant will notice, this engine is not infact running. Simply, the turbines are just blowing in the wind with my shutter open for 8 seconds and thus creating this curious effect. More: Sean Norman Contact Sean Norman Link to me!

A visitor from Trinidad And Tobago posted Mon April 10, 2006: An Excelent picture and great crativity. 5 stars from the sunny Caribbean
A visitor from United States posted Mon April 10, 2006: Ah yes! On a SONG flight from KLGA to KMCO in February 2006, we were diverted to Melbourne International Airport in Florida (sorry, I forget the ICAO code) due to severe crosswinds at KMCO. It was a beautiful day though, very few clouds, but with winds gusting to 39 kts. So, as we waited in Melbourne for the winds to die down, (we were the only heavy at this airport) I ventured to the flight deck to chat with the pilots. It was great, sitting at the left seat, eyeing the FMC (CI for the day was 75!). There was a sound outside that sounded like a windmill. "You hear that sound?", Capt. said. "It's the N1 rotor rotating in the wind." Awesome. The wind was so brisk, that the N1 blades were rotating on their own at a vicious speed, just like this lovely photo we're talking about.
A visitor from Germany posted Mon April 10, 2006: Great picture! Note the Air Canada aircraft with new livery in the background! I thought the engine was running too...

A visitor from Malaysia posted Mon April 10, 2006: Seriously i thought it was running at full thrust. but think about it again, how can you be that close when engine is at full thrust.
A visitor from Germany posted Mon April 10, 2006: What, it's not running???? Very very curious effect...
A visitor from Canada posted Mon April 10, 2006: Very nice photo ... If it wasn't for the lights in the background (and your hint), I would of thought the engine was running
A visitor from Malta posted Mon April 10, 2006: I'd say the give away is the fact that there is no trace of jet blast behind the engine. But yes it will fool you at first ;) Great pic
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Mon April 10, 2006: I just love the lighting in this photo. Great job!
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Mon April 10, 2006: What a fantastic photo! Cheers Sean. You can tell that its not running because there isn't any jet blast emanating from the rear.
