A visitor from United States posted Fri August 24, 2012: Nice Shot but dumping fuel(I'm assuming that's what it is) is probably not the greatest of ideas
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Thu August 23, 2012: Are they performing tests on the ground? Or do they actually fly that plane?
A visitor from United States posted Mon April 25, 2011: Give it some privacy! Quite the shot; I have never seen one like it!
A visitor from Sweden posted Tue January 11, 2011: The good old 741 is taking a piss on the tarmac
A visitor from Brazil posted Thu December 30, 2010: I guess the guy in blue is bitting his fingers thinking "please don't blow" ¬¬...
A visitor from Canada posted Thu April 15, 2010: Looks like the guy in blue is lighting up a smoke :)
A visitor from - posted Thu February 4, 2010: I am guessing tanks were topped up on a cold night followed by a hot day. Looks like the fuel expanded and is forced out through the fuel cap which is at the bottom of the tanks.
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sun November 1, 2009: Good(mehdi)
A visitor from United States posted Sat July 18, 2009: Quite awesome to see this
A visitor from United States posted Sat July 18, 2009: Thats what happens when you exceed max take off weight good quality for all the liquid
A visitor from United States posted Sat May 30, 2009: That's what happens when you give those big gals a little too much to drink. ;)
A visitor from United States posted Fri May 22, 2009: I'm guessing they are cleaning the tanks out as both engine's cowlings are open. It looks like a scheduled process as they have 2 extinguishers standing by. There is unusable fuel in every airplane (fuel at the bottom of the tanks that mixes with contaminants that fall to the bottom.)
A visitor from United States posted Thu May 14, 2009: Couldn't they have given this 747 a little privacy while it was taking it's potty break? ;)
A visitor from Macedonia, The Former Yugoslav Republic Of posted Tue April 28, 2009: Aren't they just cleaning fuel tanks?? No way they gonna let jet fuel spill on the tarmac like that, c'mon! Nice catch anyway.
A visitor from United States posted Tue March 24, 2009: I just had to send this to my friend at the EPA.
A visitor from India posted Sun March 15, 2009: We have a fire extinguisher here....just in case :)
A visitor from Indonesia posted Sat February 21, 2009: Seems like Iran has plenty of oil sources, so they can spill it over :P
A visitor from Iran, Islamic Republic Of posted Thu February 19, 2009: WoOoW...!!! Wonderful catch dear Taha...Bravo! (Ramin)
A visitor from United States posted Thu February 19, 2009: The guy under the #4 Engine looks like he's saying " Oh my, I think I'm going to be sick." The big guy in the white looks like he's saying "Mama Mia, the big plane is a wetting on my tarmac." Great photo Iranian Spotters :D
A visitor from Canada posted Thu February 19, 2009: Glad they have the fire extinguishers there cuz if that JET A fuel ctaches fire they aint gonna have a hope in hell if those tanks are as full as they look!
A visitor from Germany posted Wed February 18, 2009: This should be the fuel overflow valves (I think this is the correct name) opening. This can happen, if the tanks are very full, even on a 744.
A visitor from - posted Wed February 18, 2009: Really rare shot from the hunter of moments!Tanx for sharing dear Taha.(ARafiee)
A visitor from Iran, Islamic Republic Of posted Wed February 18, 2009: Jooon Taha. what an extremely rare shot you've hunted. Great!
A visitor from - posted Wed February 18, 2009: Perfect timing! We can see a small amount of JetA on the tarmac. It means that the picture was taken a few seconds after de leak started! Right place, right time!
A visitor from - posted Wed February 18, 2009: I think they are cleaning the tanks
A visitor from United States posted Wed February 18, 2009: Looks like a MX operation with the engine open and the fire extinguishers on ready. Really Awesome pic!
A visitor from Iran, Islamic Republic Of posted Wed February 18, 2009: Really nice ..taha ...good shot from you (IRK7055)
A visitor from Germany posted Wed February 18, 2009: Wow nice shot! it seem this old lady has more kerosene than she needs ;)
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Wed February 18, 2009: Nice catch! Fuel venting?
A visitor from Iran, Islamic Republic Of posted Wed February 18, 2009: Very nice catch dear Taha!great moment! -Shary
A visitor from United States posted Tue February 17, 2009: Bathroom break! Interesting photo!
A visitor from Korea, Republic Of posted Tue February 17, 2009: Is this a fuel leakage? certainly no plane would do a fuel dump on the tarmac
A visitor from Canada posted Tue February 17, 2009: Please don't tell me that i'm seeing JetA coming out of that B741 ???
A visitor from United States posted Tue February 17, 2009: Great pic, they crew looks like they really are clueless on what to do - or why it's happening in the first place!
A visitor from Canada posted Tue February 17, 2009: Fuel dump!, oo noooo!;)
