My money is on the bn2 winair lol :)

A visitor from New Zealand posted Tue May 17, 2011:
Nice Pic! I would be nervous in the Islander though, going by KLMs reputation on runways containing 2 aircraft and no t/o clearance! Huh tenneriefe..

A visitor from France posted Mon October 4, 2010:
Very nice pic. I think the Britten would win easily in a duel, it would take off in half the runway while the jumbo would still be spooling up ! The 747 is back taxiing on the runway because there is no taxiway, so the only way to get to the terminal is by using the runway.

A visitor from United States posted Thu June 18, 2009:
They are playing chicken :)

A visitor from United States posted Fri February 13, 2009:
This shot is fantastic! I really enjoy the perspective that you have with the planes. I love the under the wing shot

A visitor from United States posted Sat March 8, 2008:
1,2,3........DRAW

A visitor from Egypt posted Tue December 4, 2007:
It is very hot situation to see the 747 and the small prop aeroplane together face to face on the same runway,in all times the air traffic controllers are doing a great job.

A visitor from Sweden posted Tue December 4, 2007:
Lol, Duel challenge xD

A visitor from Brazil posted Thu August 30, 2007:
Ok guy, lets see who is more fast!

A visitor from United States posted Tue July 31, 2007:
Great picture, makes the islander look very powerful!

A visitor from Spain posted Tue July 24, 2007:
Far west duel

A visitor from Greece posted Sun February 11, 2007:
Who do you think can win?? I think the Britten-Norman has some chances hahaha. Great foto well done.

A visitor from United States posted Fri January 12, 2007:
It's like an old western show down. Anybody else hear the good, the bad and the ugly theme song playing?

A visitor from United States posted Sat November 11, 2006:
High Noon! This strip is not big enough for the two of us!!!

A visitor from United States posted Sat September 16, 2006:
This town aint big enough for the two of us!

A visitor from Finland posted Sat July 22, 2006:
Fantastic picture! I assume that 747 just landed, turned and taxies to gates and BM-2 waits clearance for takeoff?

A visitor from Finland posted Fri November 11, 2005:
Ecellent framing - this is not a snapshot. One of the very best.

A visitor from United States posted Tue November 8, 2005:
The framing of the 747 under the wing of the BN-2 is amazing. Let the fight begin.

A visitor from United States posted Fri November 4, 2005:
You're going the wrong WAY! :O

A visitor from Argentina posted Sat October 29, 2005:
Is fantastic

A visitor from Canada posted Thu October 27, 2005:
Amazing Shot!

A visitor from Netherlands posted Wed October 26, 2005:
Awesome shot!! It really shows the spanwidth of the 747!!

A visitor from Germany posted Wed October 26, 2005:
Head to head, who win?

A visitor from Australia posted Mon October 24, 2005:
Awesome photo! is it just me or are the outer engines of the 747 smaller than the inner ones?

A visitor from United Arab Emirates posted Sat October 22, 2005:
What does "back taxiing" mean??

A visitor from Portugal posted Sat October 22, 2005:
Great photo. I think that the 747 is terrified with the presence of the BN-2...

A visitor from Germany posted Sat October 22, 2005:
Really nice 'cause a B747 under a wing of a BN on the RWY is not a daily shot

A visitor from Ukraine posted Thu October 20, 2005:
Fine photo :)

A visitor from Mexico posted Thu October 20, 2005:
So here we have "the good" and "the bad"... but where is "the ugly"?

A visitor from Chile posted Thu October 20, 2005:
A challenge between Britten-Norman BN-2 and Boeing 747.
Like David v/s Goliath

A visitor from United States posted Thu October 20, 2005:
Unusual

A visitor from Germany posted Thu October 20, 2005:
THats cool.
Who has more Power?.
But i had focussirt on the 747.

A visitor from Italy posted Thu October 20, 2005:
Scary, anyway...

A visitor from Netherlands posted Thu October 20, 2005:
I have to think about the day in Tenerife! I hope it does't happends again!!!

A visitor from Netherlands posted Thu October 20, 2005:
It's a funny photo think on Tenerife!

A visitor from Switzerland posted Thu October 20, 2005:
Very impressive! I think the islander will be the winner :-)

A visitor from United States posted Thu October 20, 2005:
Anybody up for a little chicken. Who do you think would win?

A visitor from United States posted Thu October 20, 2005:
Talk about a wild pic! GREAT view!!! Nice job, Pat!

A visitor from Korea, Republic Of posted Thu October 20, 2005:
Looks like this small BN's ready to have a charge to KLM there... hehe..
Nice Picture.

A visitor from Canada posted Thu October 20, 2005:
Yeah I thing the Boeing is not going to wim

A visitor from United States posted Thu October 20, 2005:
I sweat and twitch just looking at the pic! If I was in the Islander I would get out and run for my life!!!

A visitor from Chile posted Wed October 19, 2005:
Britten-Norman BN-2 v/s Boeing 747-400. who is going to win?????

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Wed October 19, 2005:
Absolutely brilliant photo. Very well composed. Not a 747 fan but I luv the wittle Islander! I like how its wing appears to overshadow the big Boeing. Thanks for sharing this with us!

A visitor from Switzerland posted Wed October 19, 2005:
The airplanes are so great

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Wed October 19, 2005:
Great picture..

A visitor from United States posted Wed October 19, 2005:
Because I like the two planes on one runway.

A visitor from India posted Wed October 19, 2005:
DRAW! or how about CHARGE! BN vs. B747 ??? argh! gladiator?! very interesting....great pic though!

A visitor from Germany posted Wed October 19, 2005:
Very nice picture of a beautiful aircraft! Thank you Patrick

A visitor from United States posted Wed October 19, 2005:
I like it because the seven four is such a massive aircraft. it is a symbol and when you look at it from behind the bn-2, that isn't exactly the thing you want to see on a waiting for a takeoff roll head on at you. you got to think "are their shorts clean?"

A visitor from El Salvador posted Wed October 19, 2005:
It reminds me the sheriff against the bad guy in an old western movie. Nice picture!

A visitor from Canada posted Wed October 19, 2005:
Nice shot :)

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Wed October 19, 2005:
Great photo, battle of little and large! Doesn't the KLM inboard engines look bigger than the outboard! lol

A visitor from United States posted Wed October 19, 2005:
Looks like a shootout--like they just took forty paces and turned around to shoot!

A visitor from Spain posted Wed October 19, 2005:
Nice one

A visitor from Poland posted Wed October 19, 2005:
It's a high noon and cowboys are in town - prepare for a gunfight ;)

A visitor from France posted Wed October 19, 2005:
It sadly reminds me the tragik event at tenerife in 1977 with the same KLM 747...but it's a nice angle

A visitor from Spain posted Wed October 19, 2005:
If I was the islander I would think about that...

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Wed October 19, 2005:
For a moment there I thought it was Air Force One!

A visitor from Belgium posted Wed October 19, 2005:
David against Goliath. I wonder who will win? Very impressive picture.

A visitor from Brazil posted Wed October 19, 2005:
WOW - what a great picture! The angle makes it look like a battle of aircraft!

A visitor from Australia posted Wed October 19, 2005:
Great shot.

A visitor from Netherlands posted Wed October 19, 2005:
Very impressive shop, really nice made!
