Great spotting location and the photo is perfectly framed. The 747 looks great from any angle. | |
Technically, an aircraft operating on an IFR flight plan can be told to "go around" as opposed to "execute missed approach". If an aircraft is flying a visual approach and tower needed to break off the approach for whatever reason, it would be told to "go around" and it would receive further instructions from tower and/or approach control or center, as there is no such thing as a published missed approach procedure on a visual approach. If, however, the aircraft were flying a procedure, such as an ILS, where a published missed existed they would be told to execute the missed. | |
You don't even need to say anything here. The photo tells its own story on this aborted landing! | |
To the previous poster regarding Go-arounds, With planes operating under IFR (all airliners) it is considered a missed approach and will be stated as such in communications. Go-around is used with planes operating under VFR. Execution procedures depend on the airport and runway(s) in use. | |
Very nice to see a missed approach, | |
Beautiful Capture | |
Great shot! Really captures the two aircraft beautifully and I love the position the 747 is in! | |
The graceful rio de janeiro. I like the kl744 it is one of the prettiest 747 around.klm still has about 26 744 a/c.active until 2016 at least when the foxtrot alpha is 25 years old. | |
Amazing | |
Going around. . . Flight arrival delayed. . | |
I couldn't agree anymore with the comment below mine. | |
It's amazing that something so huge like the 747 looks so graceful at the same time. You can have your 777s and 380s, etc., nothing does it for me like the 747. | |
Exellent Shot!! Poor pilot of the 744 :) | |
Extraordinary!! i'm thinking about the sensations of passenger... | |
@ the visitor from great britain, yes, 18R or 36L is also known as the Polderbaan. I Like the shot, nice to see the DC-10 at the runway. | |
The thick overcast makes the Boing 747 look as if it is flying into the unknown | |
Nice! is 18R aka Polderbaan? | |
Rare picture! | |
Love it! love how you can see how flat the runway is. (don't you just love the growl of that cf6 at full power) | |
The runway is really spectacular with its lights and all, good view of the plane. | |
There is only one word for this shot, and that is PERFECT. Love everything, the lighting on the 747, the position, the situation, the runway - everything! Long live the 747, she really is the queen of the skies, always is and always will be. 5 stars! | |
Nice shot! Is the fact of the runway being under the see level any related with its flatness? | |
Beautiful shot. And they got the runway that flat because all of Holland is that flat :) | |
The lighting and everything in the pic is awesome! Gawd, how did they get the rwy that flat? | |
I can feel the power of the engines. It's really amazing - especially with the great lightening! Superb! | |
Amazing... rare event | |
Excellent angle, the B-747 looks beautiful. | |
What a amazing luck to capture a photo of a "missed approach".Not being in the biz,I could only imagine what I've been reading,now I know ! Thanks Nick,and A.net. | |
Amazing shot of the sky and runway | |
Great photo and observation. It might be shaking situation for pilot. great oppurtunity with the angle. -Amit | |
Exciting situation can be felt by just watching this picture! | |
I JUST LIKE IT | |
I give 5 stars for the right moment. Almost another runway incursion. One of the biggest problems in ATC. | |
Just a nice photo!!!!! Incredible experience you had. Wish to be there. | |
Woow spectacular....! | |
I've always wanted to be on a missed approach plane. I just want to be thrown back into my seat and hear the roar of the engines once more. And I have always wanted to fly of the 747! I mean who hasn't!!! ;-) | |
Beautiful | |
Spectacular!!! | |
I think is a beautiful shot because it shows the Jumbo jet going around. Not very often this happens. In this case was due to the other traffic remaining on the runway. There is a nice contrast between the colors of sky and the color of the 747. It also shows the power of the 747 lifting all its own weight without any problems. | |
Well observed and well done, and I don´t mean the pilots, nor the flight control, who should have acted earlier. What rules apply here??! PE Norway | |
Great moment,not only because th photographer caught a "missed approach" but mostly because it's jumbo executing it!!!Fine picture!!! | |
Great Shot! I bet the pilots of the 747 had a few choice words for the tower controller! | |
Very nice and also thanks for description | |
Nice photo!!! Looks like a movie clip, it's so good! Congratulations! | |
Nice shot. BTW this is NOT a missed approach but a GO AROUND. | |
Hey Nicky! Sweet composition and timing! Too bad we can't hear the 747 screaming ;-) Groeten, en tot ziens! TvP -GreenBaron | |
Outstanding shot ... reminds me of a BA 747 go around I saw at LHR a couple of years back, as a 737 was late vacating the runway ... this great bird looming out of the cloudbase, gear and flaps down... | |
I`m a flight attendant for Lan and the same thing happen to us 2 years ago at JFK. It was amazing the powerful engines sound. | |
That is good and the lights is amusing | |
That is so gode and the lights is amising | |
Great picture!! And having a description of the situation makes it even better. Thanks!! | |
Good decision by KLM!!! It looks to me like the NWA still has spoilers deployed so she is not even close to vacating the runway. | |
Nice with several planes in one picture | |
Beautiful shot. Perfect lighting, both natural and otherwise. | |
Excellent Snap.... rare to be seen.. 1st swa the plane landing and then noticed the one on the runway... good photography:) ...gk | |
Terrific lighting and composition. Overhead cloud s and runway lighting balance. | |
Fantastic!! Nearly airlining !!!!! | |
Really good | |
I like this picture because of the lighting and the airplane at the other end of the runway and also because I would like to be a pilot and like airplanes | |
Nice photo, I saw it from the other side going around on that day. It is rwy 06. | |
WOW! Amazing photograph with great lighting. | |
WOW WOW!!! That photo is amazing!!! Good job! | |
Nice picture! I'm also very curious what runway this is. It's most definitely not the "Kaagbaan (06)", because you don't see the office buildings (WTC) in the background. If I have to guess it's one of the 18/36 RWY's. | |
Very rare ... fantastic photo ! How steep KLM climbed. | |
Extremely clear and shows you a rare occurrence. | |
The passengers on that plane must have been wondering what the hell was going on!!! | |
This is good. I once had to do this too (I fly Finnair A319), but it was a reindeer instead of an a/c. | |
What a drag for the 747 pilots to do a go-around. Was this shot taken from the runway they use to call "the Kaagbaan"? | |
Very nice moment captured during this special go-around! | |
This is a very cool picture indeed :). I love it so MUCH... | |
Awesome picture! My favorite out of the 4 "top of today" pictures! 5 stars! | |
Hey man, that is a great photo. Although you dont say in which runway it happened I´m sure you really enjoyed it. | |
Airliners.Net shown softly on top of this photo!! I like the way it does, prevent other to copy without asking photographers permission to use in other ways. | |
Action at its best... | |
In the right place at the right time, dedication ! | |
Boeing 747 is indeed great - I wish, though, that Boeing would make an even bigger and more spectacular aircraft in the future. Maybe they will... | |
This really is a fabulous shot. Look at the jumbo lift off. The pilots should have put in a lot of effort to put the bird on flight again after a missed approach. As an airline employee i know how much relieved the cockpit crew would be after pulling away...gbala | |
Great Pic Passengers must have been very happy to lose 15min above AMS. Congratulations to the ATC controller. | |
Very nice! you were in the right place at the right time! | |
Great shot Nick. Theres something you dont see everyday. Nice. | |
One of the finest photos i've seen on airliners, love the 747 under full power, flying dirty, wish i could catch some action of this live, definately a picture worth a thousand words. | |
A wonderful pic and this shot shows the 747 in all its glory long live the queen of the skies. | |
Fantastic shot!! Great technique! Awesome skill! And spectacular content!! | |
Good phote thx | |
Beautiful view of the Big Bird. It's an absolutely wonderful machine. | |
This is a unique situation that daes happen often but not to many fotos are taking in this moment so thumbs up for this minter fotographer | |
Amazing shot!! I wish I could be there to see that! :D I v o DK | |
Rare to see a photo of two jumbos in a "go around" situation. | |
I like the way you focused, not just on the 747 but that you are able to get a sense of depth with the dc 10 still in the pic... awesome!!! | |
That is SOME photo - a dramatic moment combined with perfect photography! Rgds, Neil Edinburgh, UK | |
I always love shots of runways when they're all lit up like that. Also, it's cool to see the 747 climbing like that. A great picture of an old American design and an equally impressive newer one. | |
Woooow perfect picture!! | |
What great pic.! what a great timing! | |
Perfect picture of this moment! Both jets & runway captured. I can even hear the roaring engines ;) | |
That is fantastic to see! Of course go arounds happen every day but a nice example of a plane still on the runway and a nice 747 going around :) | |
