Tell one of the ATC staff to come and land one of these heavies and he'll know; no need to apologise. Marvellous photo with the air brakes and the flaps and the smoke....great shot Seth, keep it going.

Good thing cargo neither pukes nor complains ;)

A visitor from United States posted Sat March 7, 2009:
The great thing about being a cargo pilot and making this hard of a landing is that packages don't complain.

A visitor from Australia posted Tue September 9, 2008:
What a great shot - An excellent view of the vortices can be seen in the smoke!

A visitor from Australia posted Sun May 18, 2008:
Wow the elevators are creating wing tip vortices

A visitor from United States posted Sun March 16, 2008:
Hahahaha, a plane fart.

A visitor from United States posted Sat March 1, 2008:
Nice, love the rubber touching down and having a puff like that

A visitor from Iran, Islamic Republic Of posted Tue January 1, 2008:
Excellent

A visitor from Portugal posted Sat October 6, 2007:
This is a really hard landing! Gorgeous shot!

A visitor from Australia posted Sat August 18, 2007:
This photo is perfect. Angle, lighting and the affect of those powerful engines makes this a five star shot. Well Done indeed! I love the 747, and they are really big girls, I am gobsmacked at how some captains put them down so safely,they are magnificent machines! Really a perfect photo, and thanks to the captain for such a perfect affect!

A visitor from United States posted Sat June 30, 2007:
That has to be the most beautiful puff of smoke ever produced by a jet!

A visitor from United States posted Mon January 29, 2007:
Cool photo! I love the smoke or dust effect

A visitor from Denmark posted Sun November 26, 2006:
I believe you have to be very lucky to be in a possition, where it is possible to get a shot like this, it is first time I see one like this, great

A visitor from Brazil posted Sat November 25, 2006:
That's the right place to be, nice job

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Thu November 16, 2006:
Its good cos u can see spray bein flicked up

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Thu August 24, 2006:
Thought it was a fab picture jst because u can see the lil tornados still appearing in the smoke perfect shot

A visitor from Iran, Islamic Republic Of posted Mon August 21, 2006:
Fantastic shot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

A visitor from United States posted Mon July 31, 2006:
Wow. These kind of pictures really show off the huge size of this beast! :)

A visitor from Brazil posted Fri July 7, 2006:
Great time and beautiful pic!

A visitor from Australia posted Mon June 19, 2006:
I dont think the pilot should have apologised because those planes are not easy to put down. great shot though

A visitor from Finland posted Sat June 10, 2006:
Gosh huge power is in game!

A visitor from India posted Thu June 8, 2006:
Amazing Clarity...Great Job.!

A visitor from Venezuela posted Sun June 4, 2006:
Great Shoot, Beautiful vortex

A visitor from India posted Wed May 31, 2006:
Its beautiful i think that the atc should have congratulated the captain instead for giving them such a stunning display of raw power

A visitor from Belgium posted Sun May 7, 2006:
Fantastic Very good work.

A visitor from United States posted Sun April 23, 2006:
Was I on that flight? Nice shot!

A visitor from Brazil posted Sun April 9, 2006:
Ok dude. Last chance.More 100 hours of simmulator.

A visitor from Germany posted Sun April 2, 2006:
That´s a great shot, because ist shows the power and weight of a 747 in just another way.

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Fri March 24, 2006:
Great Photo capture, glad it wasn't one of my landings!

A visitor from Australia posted Fri March 24, 2006:
Great shot, Seth, congrats! It's neat when you can see a detailed manifestation of the aerodynamic forces acting on these massive aircraft, with the opposite direction of rotation of the horizontal stabiliser vortices clearly visible.

A visitor from Germany posted Thu March 23, 2006:
First of all, a brilliant shot. To capture the second of touch down is a great thing.

A visitor from United States posted Thu March 23, 2006:
Got to love shots of vortices. Kinda looks like the captain was on the brakes at touchdown or its peeling out and doing a wheelie.

A visitor from India posted Thu March 23, 2006:
Very very good

A visitor from United States posted Thu March 23, 2006:
Wicked cool!!! Wake vortices materializing out of tire smoke -- I can hear and SMELL that touchdown from here!!

A visitor from Netherlands posted Thu March 23, 2006:
This is a nice picture

A visitor from Sweden posted Wed March 22, 2006:

A visitor from Spain posted Wed March 22, 2006:

What a great picture of wake turbulence. Very nice!!

A visitor from Brazil posted Wed March 22, 2006:
Incrinable !!! spectacular!!!

A visitor from Germany posted Wed March 22, 2006:

A visitor from Canada posted Wed March 22, 2006:
Cool "swirl" effect.

Great photo awesome landing I want to be a pilot my self and i want to fly a 744 but nice photo great timing

A visitor from United States posted Tue March 21, 2006:
Awesome! Fantasic clarity. I can almost feel the wake turbulence form that giant. Nicely done.

A visitor from France posted Tue March 21, 2006:
Execptional

A visitor from India posted Tue March 21, 2006:
Great shot! right time to see the effect while lending

A visitor from Spain posted Tue March 21, 2006:
No apologies mate, thanks for that landing...

A visitor from Austria posted Tue March 21, 2006:
Awesome shot! great to see the wake turbulence and such an impressive A/C

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Tue March 21, 2006:
At least the Captain didn't have passengers and flight attendents to apologise to! Absolutely stunning shot, and right at the top of my 'wish I'd taken that' list.

A visitor from - posted Tue March 21, 2006:
Awesome

A visitor from New Zealand posted Tue March 21, 2006:
Great angle, all together a great shot, I like it!

A visitor from Canada posted Tue March 21, 2006:
It's all in the timing & staying focused when the situation presents itself. A little rough on the aircraft I would imagine!

A visitor from United States posted Mon March 20, 2006:
A fantastic rear shot. The landing may have been hard, but consider the fact that the Boeing 747 is a very forgiving aircraft. No matter what, she looks gorgeous from any angle. All the more reason that Boeing makes the best.

Looks like they landed on a geyser or something hehe ! Very nice picture :-)

A visitor from United States posted Mon March 20, 2006:
This photo shows not only motion of the aircraft, but its size and power to generate massive wake turbulence. It encorporates everything that we love about heavies.

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Mon March 20, 2006:
Amazing

A visitor from United States posted Mon March 20, 2006:
Awesome steam kickup!

A visitor from United States posted Mon March 20, 2006:
Good stuff!

A visitor from Spain posted Mon March 20, 2006:
I can smell the rubber from here hehe...great picture indeed!

A visitor from Germany posted Mon March 20, 2006:
Must have been a messy approach, with a marginal touchdown, but with a tough airplane, you can hardly hurt it too bad.
Great picture.

A visitor from Hong Kong posted Mon March 20, 2006:
I have already seen this event thousand times, but this one is one of the most impression photos that I have seen before. I had posted this photo to my desk wallpaper.

A visitor from Hong Kong posted Mon March 20, 2006:
This is call the wake turbulence! I loving it.

A visitor from Singapore posted Mon March 20, 2006:
Wonderful , wake turbulence votices

A visitor from Australia posted Mon March 20, 2006:
Nice shot Seth. No runway inspection required unless aircraft damaged or missing rubber when inspected by engineers on the bay.

A visitor from United States posted Mon March 20, 2006:
What a picture, WOWWWWWWWWW.
But sometimes I wonder how the pressure of the flaps. Just look at it, it's almost touch the ground.

A visitor from United States posted Mon March 20, 2006:
WOW,

A visitor from Canada posted Mon March 20, 2006:
Very nice pic but could improve the landing.

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sun March 19, 2006:
BRILLIANT SHOT!!!!
Ladies and Gentlemen if you care to look out the window you will see we have swirling vortex just outside!!!!

A visitor from Kuwait posted Sun March 19, 2006:
I'm not doing good landing these days. I didnt know that you get this kind smoke after a hard landing! so from now on, I will do my best to make it as smooth as possible.

A visitor from Mexico posted Sun March 19, 2006:
Biggest landing vortex i´ve ever seen after a hard landing. Maybe ATC said WOW after touchdown. T.B.

A visitor from Sweden posted Sun March 19, 2006:
Fantastic shot!

A visitor from Hong Kong posted Sun March 19, 2006:
Did the captain say "Sorry for the vortex?"
GREAT SHOT!

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sun March 19, 2006:
Runway check needed by airport ops maybe after such a heavy landing and a couple of new radials

A visitor from Germany posted Sun March 19, 2006:
It looks like a space shuttle that lands, because of the circles of the smoke when it touches down!

A visitor from Belgium posted Sun March 19, 2006:
The most beautiful landing photo i have ever seen ... amazing ;-)))))

A visitor from Costa Rica posted Sun March 19, 2006:
I like how the tyre smoke looks like wake vortex. An amazing picture, I love such hard landings!

A visitor from United States posted Sun March 19, 2006:
Simply an amazing shot!!!

A visitor from Germany posted Sun March 19, 2006:
Wow, now that's what I call a smokey toucdown!

A visitor from Germany posted Sun March 19, 2006:
What a great photo !

A visitor from Canada posted Sun March 19, 2006:
Oh my...
that's crazy

A visitor from Australia posted Sun March 19, 2006:
Nice close-up shot. It really shows the difference in height between the tail section and the nose. Guess they really used their landing fee on this one.

A visitor from United States posted Sun March 19, 2006:
Great shot capturing the motion within the photograph

A visitor from United States posted Sun March 19, 2006:
I really loved the smoke and how you can see it turn as the plane displaces the airflow. Amazing picture!

A visitor from United States posted Sun March 19, 2006:
Wow, look at those vortices.

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sat March 18, 2006:
