Remark

Photographer

RA-96016 (cn 74393202010) A bird strike or an engine failure? Or even both? Maybe none? That is something that perhaps we might never know, nevertheless this was a one in a million moment. I was trying to get this aircraft on rotation, and suddenly (when I started to photograph) a cloud of smoke emerged and the take off was aborted. Few days later, this photo made it to the front page of a Russian newspaper, and got its 5 minutes of fame on the telly, but what I wanted that day I didn’t get. This beautiful aircraft on rotation.
