Hangar flythrough!!! Awesome picture man. | |
Crisp shot! Amazing! | |
Love the shot 5 stars | |
"Good afternoon this is the captain speaking, our cruising altitude today will be 20 feet". | |
Look mom, no landing gear! | |
Airborne | |
The center of gravity is of course some what behind the struts, otherwise it would make for a dangerous procedure and also the lift from the wings is counter acted by the lift from the tail so it stays balanced during flight. But very nice an impressive picture, saw the procedure a few times when working at KLM. | |
That's the center of gravity right where the jacks are. | |
Good way to float a 747. this should be the 747-400H(hover). Take that airbus, who cant float their A380 for some reason. | |
Brilliant capture! | |
The 74- the true queen! Beautiful pic, really shows the 74's beauty! Braniff747SP | |
If this is, when programmed, an ordinary maintenance event, | |
Nice one Ruud!! | |
I think those struts are just decoys. Whats really holding the plane is that arm on the left. | |
I saw the airbus a-380 this past august when it made an appearance at the oshkosh air show. with all due respect to airbus and their a-380, it can't hold a candle to the 747. The sheer beauty of 747 will only be enhanced when the even more elegant 747-800 comes on line. | |
Imagine if this is a Low-Fly-By | |
Nice shot! | |
Those struts maybe do not look beefy but they are! The whole weight of the 747 is resting on both of the struts. One is at the back just to support the tail to not come down. That is a normal maintenance procedure for gear swing testing for example. | |
A real Mc Onion photo , Mentor you did a great job... | |
This picture was taken at the Staff Event, celebrating the 90'st birthday of KLM. Alle the people on the right are KLM Staff members and their relatives. Top picture, mine didn't turn out 5% as good... Klasse!! :-) | |
The all new Boeing 747-800H(over). Take that, Airbus! ;) | |
Nice picture ruud! i was there olso and it was amazing that day! | |
I Hope One Day I Can Work on Those Beautiful Aircraft! | |
Great image which clearly shows that she's up much higher than normal on those 'stands' compared to regular gear height in order to test the gear retraction. Also, this image clearly shows one of my all time aviation pet peaves that some airlines do by installing the galley along the outside wall of the A/C. What a waste of prime window seats. Really, wouldn't it make more sense having the galley run down the middle? After all the galley obviously doesn't need windows as shown by this image. | |
I have to agree with the other comments here. The 747 is truly beautiful! This photo emphasizes that beauty very well. She is still the Queen! Absolutely gorgeous! | |
Well this looks epic, the A380 wouldn't shine like that. | |
Awesome photo! and a great perspective on a flying 747 | |
Wow, they must be strong! | |
Those struts don't look that beefy? Can they really hold up a 747? | |
She's beautiful. It is truly something that the A380 just can't compete with. | |
WoooW, a floating 747 :) 5* | |
Wow, never seen that before! | |
5 stars! For a gr8 photo! Conor Amoia | |
Why are there so many people on the right????? | |
They look good with the gear up don't they? Nice capture. | |
Beautiful... looking at the port side engines on the other side gives you an idea how massive she is... | |
5 stars definately! Nice Ruud! Conor Amoia | |
