VERY NICE WORK GOOD JOB

A visitor from - posted Sat June 13, 2009:
Amazing picture of an Avianca 747, it gives the impression that the pic was altered in some way, because of the funny blue tone from the snow. This pic is a reminder of better times in Colombia, when the country was a great place to live, Avianca had 747's that carried us around the world.

A visitor from Sweden posted Mon June 8, 2009:
Very nice picture... very very nice.

A visitor from United States posted Thu February 26, 2009:

Avianca is one of my most favourite Airlines, THANK YOU for this shot!!

A visitor from Mexico posted Sat March 15, 2008:
It has a sense of winter mystery. Additionally, it was and still is very rare to see an Avianca airliner in Sweden.

A visitor from Colombia posted Sun February 10, 2008:
I think is the most spectacular shot in airliners, but there is some info you need to know! This Jumbo was that day transporting Gabriel Garc

A visitor from Canada posted Tue August 28, 2007:

A visitor from United States posted Sat January 7, 2006:
This artistic photo means a great deal to me. This 747 brought me to the U.S. in 1981, I was 7 years old. I wish Avianca would have kept the 2 beautiful 747s. Thank you for sharing your artistic photo with so many of us who love this airline. Take care BRO.

A visitor from Colombia posted Tue January 3, 2006:
It´s the best photo I have ever seen of Avianca. It´s amazing how the light inside the 747 contrast with the ice on the runway.

A visitor from Colombia posted Thu September 8, 2005:
As my fellow countrymen, I agree with them. This was the Avianca's gold age. Those people who works for Avianca(including me) has a big hope that our country and our Main airline, will recover their positions all over the world, and grow up soon.
"all our hearts are red, as old avianca's scheme".

A visitor from South Africa posted Mon September 5, 2005:
With this pic the motion is evident and night time departures on a 747 are amazing to watch but even better to be on. The angle and lighting on the tail highlights the excitment this photo brings me.

Hmmmm, how beautiful shot... Makes me remind the good old days of Avianca when it had several routes to Europe and it operated those 747.

A visitor from Colombia posted Mon September 5, 2005:
The magic of the snow and of the night... and a magnificient machine !!!!

A visitor from United States posted Mon September 5, 2005:
This is an excellent photo because of the contrast between the sky and the water. I wonder where this photo was taken? The 747, all lit up, is beautiful.

A visitor from United States posted Mon September 5, 2005:
The crispness of the photo and the great lighting. along with the close up and the air of vintage classic

A visitor from United States posted Mon September 5, 2005:
Beautiful photograph! It's sad that this aircraft no longer exists.

Very nostalgic!

A visitor from Australia posted Mon September 5, 2005:
Yes, this is a great shot but it goes further than that. The photographer must be given a pat on the back for what is one of the best photographs I've ever had the pleasure of viewing on this Site. As a photographer myself, I appreciate the preparation involved.

Again, well done!!

A visitor from Japan posted Mon September 5, 2005:
Gotta love that liberal red. By far this is my favorite livery of all times. Hopefully we'll see a 777 or a 787 some day in an Avianca livery.
