Remark Photographer
05-5140 (cn P-140) Just prior to this pass I made a joke about wanting to see the Globemaster do a minimum radious turn. My jaw dropped when it happened...dirty. [D200 + 300 F4 AF-S]

PF: "Gear up!! Turn 'n burn baby ..." Thanks for the awesome pic!!

A visitor from United States posted Sun November 9, 2008:
Also, the right fairing is different beacuse the right A/C pack is bigger than the left pack.

A visitor from Croatia posted Wed October 22, 2008:
Amazing pic

A visitor from United States posted Thu October 16, 2008:
The reason the fairing is different sized, is because that's where the APU is located.

A visitor from United States posted Fri October 3, 2008:
Hey guys, what a coincidence seeing this bird here. I did a strut bleed on this very aircraft at March ARB not too long ago as part of a #2 home station check.

What a perfect shot

A visitor from Ireland posted Thu October 2, 2008:
Clinically sharp view from directly underneath, a great catch considering the speed of the subject matter .

A visitor from - posted Mon September 29, 2008:
Simply Outsanding!!! Could any one comment why is there is such a size difference between the left and right landing gear fairings? does the larger one house the RAT as is the case with the A-380 under wing flap fairing?

A visitor from - posted Sun September 28, 2008:
Outstanding, didn't know it retracted its gear in such a "folding" way

A visitor from - posted Sun September 28, 2008:
A look that I never imagined!

A visitor from Greece posted Sun September 28, 2008:
Superb! Can we have more, please?

A visitor from Netherlands posted Sat September 27, 2008:
Great picture! I didn't even realize it was a Globemaster until I read the captions. Such an unusual angle!

A visitor from - posted Sat September 27, 2008:
A minimum radius turn WITH the gear retracting! Absolutely amazing photo. This is the epitome of the phrase "right place at the right time."

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sat September 27, 2008:
This is spectacular.

A visitor from - posted Sat September 27, 2008:
