As an a&p I love unusual photos of aircraft, either because of the composition or lighting, or just what the plane is doing. great job catching it at the right moment.

A visitor from United States posted Mon August 10, 2009:
Haha nice, only the 77 is sexy enough to bang ole mother earth. Thats what i call a risky quicky :)

A visitor from United States posted Thu July 30, 2009:
This photo was a once in a lifetime shot. I have been in the industry for over 20 yrs and have never seen this, awesome!

A visitor from Denmark posted Sun July 19, 2009:
First i thought, it was a no flap landing, but if you look closer on the planes left wing, you can see that it has about 20 degrees of flap(i think) :-D so missing flaps isnt was causes the tailstrike

A visitor from Switzerland posted Tue July 7, 2009:
When I was flight attendant I was sitting in the rear part of the aircraft during a tailstrike. It was a "good" experience!!!

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Wed June 3, 2009:
Good work, sour bum for them at the back

A visitor from Netherlands posted Sun May 24, 2009:
If you sit on the back of the plane ..

A visitor from United States posted Sun February 8, 2009:
Think of the jarring thimp when the front wheels contacted

Good job! nice pic

A visitor from Iran, Islamic Republic Of posted Sat January 17, 2009:
Thank you for this photo.

A visitor from Brazil posted Fri January 2, 2009:
The pilot of the Boeing 777 Malaysia Airlines is courageous huh? He landed the plane virtually (if it was not well) by dragging the back on the track. There are hours in cold blood.

A visitor from - posted Tue November 4, 2008:
TAILSTRIKE!!!!! That can't be good for the plane... See the (maybe) BAe 146/Avro RJ to the right side???

Great shot!!!

A visitor from - posted Sat September 20, 2008:
When they build an aircraft and the have to find out the V-loft, they always do this!!! excellent picutre by the way, a once in a life time picture!

A visitor from Mauritius posted Tue September 9, 2008:
Hey all! Thanks for all the comments and some Infos: this incident happened during take off run from runway 16 in Zurich it went over the german black forest to dump 70t of fuel and emergency landed on Runway 14 with all the fire brigade standing by.

A visitor from United States posted Tue September 9, 2008:
Take off or landing, no flaps is the reason for this tailstrike. Pilot needs to go back to the old, beat up C-172 at flying school! This might be a training or test flight, though.

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Fri August 8, 2008:
A tailstrike! I hope nobody was injured and this nice 777 not too hard damaged.

A visitor from United States posted Fri August 1, 2008:
Scratch one Bogey!

A visitor from Australia posted Tue July 29, 2008:
Considering the lack of flaps, I'd say Takeoff. Also, i've never seen a plane flare that much on landing.

Nevertheless, a great picture!

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Fri July 25, 2008:
Oh Oh :O somebody had lose his job!

A visitor from Germany posted Fri July 4, 2008:
Very good photo !!!

was it takeoff or landing ?

A visitor from Canada posted Thu July 3, 2008:
It does in fact have a left gear.

A visitor from - posted Mon June 16, 2008:
The plane must have said oooouch

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sun May 18, 2008:
Very good pic,came in to fast to me flap what!i wonder how bad was the damage!

A visitor from United States posted Fri May 9, 2008:
Left main is down just hard to see, still a noisy tail strike I'm sure

A visitor from - posted Wed April 23, 2008:
This is a very rare shot . Probably once in a lifetime .

A visitor from United States posted Mon March 17, 2008:
I can bet a couple of passengers had whiplash after this...

A visitor from United States posted Fri March 7, 2008:
Tail strike with no left gear

A visitor from Germany posted Sat January 19, 2008:
