The engines must be pretty much on idle when landing, so isn't it then as much a question of aerodynamic drag then it is of thrust reversing, except the sudden push they do at some stage. | |
Delta still have 732's in 2006 OMG | |
"Noisy" picture, I can hear it... ;-) 5* | |
Very Good Shoot to avery good Time! | |
This looks like something out of a Star Wars movie! Nice shot! | |
Like miniature metal drag chutes. | |
I didnt know boeing used clamshells on their 732's, thats really cool! nice shot! | |
It is the Journey, not so much the Destination. | |
Such an amazing photo | |
This pic brings so many memories back i was on a WN 737-200 from Los Angeles to Houston(Hobby) and I remember looking out the window and thinking the engine was going to fall off(I was olny 5 at the time) it was so cool! | |
Looks very powerful | |
Indeed an amazing machine. Nice lighting which shows nice detail. | |
Amazing....732 s are one of the most fab planes around | |
Very nice shot | |
Yep. Yep. Like'n it! It's always a wonderful thing when a photographer is able to pass along some deeper and detailed insight into the mechanics of aviation machinery. You other photogs can take a hint from this theme. Get in there and show us some detail and some new perspective. | |
Very good | |
When I got married together with my wife to start our honey moon we went to San Carlos de Bariloche flying in a Boeing 737-200 of Aerolineas Argentinas. When the plane landed we saw this parts moving for reverse, I said: The engine is broken. My wife was amazing but when I smiled she understood I was kidding | |
Although you were forced into the buttgroove of the old seats on these planes they sure were fun! I flew one last year with Ryanair. =] | |
Superb reverse in action | |
This is the greatest part of man and nature, slowing down 120 tons of machine in 12 seconds,the beauty and the beast!!!! | |
That is really cool | |
This can be a quite intimidating experience on your first flight on a Boeing 737-200 !!! | |
Brings back lots of memories. I have been on numerous flights on -200's from Scotland to Ireland with Ryanair since 1995 and have seen this many times from the wing view window! There was nothing quite like the thunderous pounding sounds from these old engines when the reverse thrust was deployed. They have recently aquired -800's for these routes and I must say I will miss the unique character of this plane. | |
Dynamic moment in operation of engine; very good photo quality | |
Thats a really nice photo. I love those Pratt & Whitney engines. The sound they make... ahh... lovely!! | |
Spirit airlines has one of the best liverys in the world | |
Its a skilled photo and you can see why the Boeing 737-247/Adv aircraft are so cool ! | |
Amazing detail! I often get the question of what a 200's reversers are like, and heres a shot to prove it :). I once got an account of a -200's reversers from a freind... "All of a sudden the rear of the engine cowling just dissapeared like a shot and started rumbling..." Well Justin, heres one for you! | |
What a Detail! That's the kind of shoot I like! | |
That brings back many memories of my childhood. i used to see that exact angle quite a bit on flights to milwaukee from cvg when they (delta) used 732's quite frequently on that route in the early 1990's. thanks for bringing back memories of delta when it was a truly great airline! | |
Great moment | |
I'm surprised a -200 had a window clear enough for you to take this great shot. Or were you standing on the wing? | |
Wow...thanks for such a detailed shot.I see the 732s everyday deploying its reverse thrust..but from a distance..amazing | |
Amazing picture I miss the 737-200s I always enjoyed seeing them in DAL AWA and SWA colors at KAUS but now has been reduced to DAL. Once again nice shot! | |
Amazing!!!.....5*s, really does show the immense power of the 737-200.....*sob* they are dying out from service, unfortunately. | |
Must be a bit of a gamble to fly one of these old birds, pushing 25 years old? Nice shot of rarely seen effect. | |
Impressive, powerful, masculine!... 5*s! | |
Incredile. As you said, exciting!!! | |
Great shot because its a good departure from the norm, a+ | |
Geez I didn't know Delta was still flying these. That's good to know! | |
Very nice detail!nice shot-qiu cheng | |
That's what i call thrust reversers ;-) | |
Now, that's a thrust reverser ! I've been travelling in the great Canadian North for years with First Air and I will never get tired of this. Old, smoky and noisy engines : the essence of air travel. If only they were not so polluting | |
Sweet Baby! | |
Brilliant! So sharp, so much detail. Just great! | |
Impressive. The reverse thruster looks like a parachute. | |
Brilliant photo, the clarity is superb, well done mate !!! | |
I think the phrase that you are looking for is "thrust reverser" - not "reverse thrust".... | |
Superb shot. | |
Interesting subject. | |
