The reason why it's designed a three-holer is that one day the main design engineer said to his fellow workers, "hey, wanna see some smokes?" Then, they put an extra engine and some extra rubbers. | |
It is difficult to control because it has a very heavy ass. | |
The pilots forgot to level off before landing? The nose seems a bit too high. | |
You can see the outlines where the windows are supposed to be! great picture! | |
Seems that the next plane to land on (or takeoff) probably had to wait for the smoke dissipate ;-)) .. very nice smoky shot, 5* | |
This is a really cool picture!! | |
Bravo Olivier!! (Message envoy | |
Nice!!!!!!!! | |
Very good pic the reason for the hard landing is a very heavy load id say shes full to max capacity | |
Amazing shot! One of the best shots I ever seen at A.net!!! Congratulations! | |
Looks like he is standing on the brakes during touchdown. Happened to me once when I was flying a C172 in my early days. Not good!! | |
"Captain, I think we might have a problem with those crystal glasses we're up to deliver..." | |
The passengers didn't complain, so that's ok... | |
Smokeee it all !! | |
WOW !!! Very cool. 5***** | |
like a ilussion,the smoke,is like magic. | |
That's an incredible shot... Congrats! Wonderful.. | |
What a beatiful shot. Sometimes it look really difficult too land an airplane, for us who never try it. We must belive that those who fly, know what they are doing. When I look at this picture it look for mee as an accident. I'm from Denmark. | |
It is not my fault it was my co-pilot | |
Besides the great picture that this one is, I dont think the Cap or the F/O might have been resting on the brakes.. the tires would have blown quite fast.. | |
That's gotta give at least someone a hernia! Dang. | |
Incredible | |
Great picture. | |
Hi Olivier! Congratulations to this one!!! :D That's perfect captured during the plane's arrival. I've also hardly seen such a landing with so much smoke. Best regards (...ton ami d'Autriche);) Mathias | |
Great shot Oliv' | |
I think that the MD-11's and DC-10's make the hardest landings because they're heavier in the tail because of the engine on the tail. It tends to make the back of the aircraft come down hard and that is also why the there is a center main gear. | |
Sorry to say this, but as a pilot, this is a FULL NORMAL landing...Great Pic, however:-))) | |
Nice ! | |
MD-11 and DC-10s are the hardest landing planes I have ever seen !!! | |
Smoke em~! ;-) | |
Looking at this picture and the one taken just before http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1045397/M/ one might wonder (just might) if someone wasn't resting a little on the brakes at the time of touch down. Capt to F/O "hey, ya wanna see a smoky landing?". :p Mind you to someone out there who knows nothing of about aircraft, you could quote this as the guys were just trying to "get out of Dodge" in a hurry as in "laying rubber" which we all know is impossible on take off unless you lock up the brakes and why you would do that is beyond me. :) Right time, great lighting, excellent shot! | |
Everything | |
The master of ceremonies would say: "Welcome to CDG AirShow! Now you can see this MD11 performing some acrobatic smoke demonstration!" | |
Just...beautifulllllll | |
I think this guy could land a MD-11 on the deck of the CVN 75 :) ! ! Great pic ! | |
Smoke them... hey, Mr. Big... :-) | |
The pilot deserves a pay rais:) | |
Unusual, dramatic | |
Someone put alcohol on the tires? ;) Brings a whole new definition to the word HEAVY! Nice shot! | |
I'd LOVE to be the tire dealer at CDG! | |
That pilot must be a former Naval Aviator by slamming the plane onto the flight deck of an aircraft carrier. | |
Well, maybe the pilot is an ex-navy pilot: Navy carrier pilots to Air Force pilots: Flaring is like squatting to pee. | |
Smoke 'em if you got 'em! | |
That´s gotta hurt! T.B. | |
Learn how to flare! | |
Really impressive cloud of smoke! Photo 1045397 was taken about a second earlier I think. | |
Look like this plane is heavy, lot's of cargo!!! Great shot!!! | |
Talk about structual damage, ladies and gents i give you my unexperienced co-pilot. (wasn't me)! lol | |
A good american company a good american jet | |
OUCH!! | |
Just freakin' nice!!! | |
Great Photo! I think its safe to call this a smokey landing! | |
Really hard touchdown... Great shot! | |
Woow, if this pilot drives like he flyes he won´t be borrowing my car ! Awesome pic ! | |
Amazing shot of some real "hot gear" what the hey, its only cargo! | |
Wow! Pretty impressive! | |
