First quality photo.Amazing and beautifull plane too.If more cleaver we'll support Russia making more like that.

A visitor from Australia posted Tue July 3, 2007:
Beautiful delicately-controlled landing in extremely difficult conditions. Reminds me a little of the dancing hippos doing ballet in Fantasia!

A visitor from Canada posted Tue January 10, 2006:
I drink to that landing (Vodka)

A visitor from Turkey posted Wed November 23, 2005:
The teacher order; one leg up.....

A visitor from Australia posted Sun November 13, 2005:
Great clear shot.Very tidy Aircraft.I'm Glad it's not me trying to contend with crosswinds and a wet track.

A visitor from Russian Federation posted Sat November 12, 2005:
Great picture! I believe the pilot was very profesional.

A visitor from Turkey posted Sat November 12, 2005:
Russian bird like a dancing.

A visitor from Belgium posted Thu November 10, 2005:
Sow?!

sure, nice photo, but what's the big deal!
as the guy from finland posted earlier, such airplanes sometimes need to land 'wingdown' in harsh conditions.

A visitor from Korea, Republic Of posted Thu November 10, 2005:
Always safety! safety!
nice photo!

A visitor from United States posted Thu November 10, 2005:
What's with all these crazy landings in AN-124s recently?! Great shot of a rare moment!

A visitor from Spain posted Wed November 9, 2005:
Iiiiiiihaaaa!!! Other crazy pilot.

A visitor from Australia posted Wed November 9, 2005:
Hey... we need to land BOTH sides of this giant!

A visitor from Aruba posted Tue November 8, 2005:
Hopi bon, means great. nice shot !!!!

A visitor from United States posted Tue November 8, 2005:
Impressive photo.

A visitor from Switzerland posted Tue November 8, 2005:
Is this an acrobatic exercise??? :-)))

A visitor from Mexico posted Tue November 8, 2005:
The wing almost touched the ground. WOW!

A visitor from Greece posted Tue November 8, 2005:
Awesome picture. Please explain to me the wind down procedure. What exactly do you mean?

A visitor from Malaysia posted Tue November 8, 2005:
Wow, the cross wind is strong enough to push her aside! Good one!

A visitor from United States posted Tue November 8, 2005:
Engine strike in 3....2.....1 phew! close one. Good timing on the photo!

A visitor from United States posted Tue November 8, 2005:
Nice shot. How do you feel about the "feeling" of the wheelsssssssss !!!

A visitor from Argentina posted Tue November 8, 2005:
Take it easy man!

Great photo!

A visitor from Switzerland posted Mon November 7, 2005:
Nice shot, perfect timing. Respect!

A visitor from Finland posted Mon November 7, 2005:
Bad conditions, but this is a great shot

A visitor from China posted Mon November 7, 2005:
Just thinking of the film about emperor penguins ...

A visitor from Germany posted Mon November 7, 2005:
WOW!!!! I love these wings at this aircraft and then this perfect shot in the right moment of this great touch down. Simply fantastic!

A visitor from Turkey posted Mon November 7, 2005:
Getting a crosswind of such a heavy and great plane does not much seem to be familiar

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Mon November 7, 2005:
Must have been a very strong wind to tilt this big beauty! Great shot!

A visitor from Singapore posted Mon November 7, 2005:
Look Ma, right landing gear first!

A visitor from Italy posted Mon November 7, 2005:
Hats off to the Captain!

A visitor from Bangladesh posted Mon November 7, 2005:
Great Picture Teemu

A visitor from United Arab Emirates posted Mon November 7, 2005:
Firstly, this is a giant aircraft, almost as big as the A380. The Antonov 124 is a versatile aeroplane and I'm sure this landing on such a low landing gear did not cause much discomfort to the crew....great photo for viewing though.

A visitor from United States posted Mon November 7, 2005:
Great shot! The Anhedral (?) on the wings makes the whole a/c look like its more tilted than it actually is!

A visitor from Belgium posted Mon November 7, 2005:
This is what i call a moment of suspense ... great foto

A visitor from Germany posted Mon November 7, 2005:
Lucky shot.

A visitor from Germany posted Mon November 7, 2005:
Right moment!
Riht place!

BIG PLANE and BIG SHOT!

A visitor from Australia posted Mon November 7, 2005:
Fantastic shot love the 124

A visitor from Germany posted Mon November 7, 2005:
Beautiful!!!!!

A visitor from Germany posted Mon November 7, 2005:
Oh, cool!!! strong crosswind can't make the pilots give up the game...

A visitor from Spain posted Mon November 7, 2005:
Very good !. So, each main gear has to be calculated to resist the impact of the landing individually, isn't it ?

A visitor from India posted Mon November 7, 2005:
Gr8 pic

A visitor from Australia posted Mon November 7, 2005:
Most dramatic crosswind landing shot I've seen! Perfect timing, Teemu! Looks like the forward gear will touch way before the left main gear!

A visitor from United States posted Mon November 7, 2005:
Big transports have c hallenging landings too.

A visitor from Italy posted Mon November 7, 2005:
Nice shot

A visitor from Hong Kong posted Mon November 7, 2005:
What a great shot.....showing the main strong landing gears supporting the whole Antonov.......

A visitor from - posted Mon November 7, 2005:
I like Antonovs and the crosswind sure moved it!

A visitor from Sweden posted Mon November 7, 2005:
Nicely captured in a thrilling moment!!

WOW! WOW! WOW! I love crosswind landing shots and I love the An124. This shot combines both! Great job! Tony

Awesome moment and photo!

A visitor from Australia posted Mon November 7, 2005:
What a brilliant photo.. Right place.. right time... I think the PIC will have a shot or two of Vodka to calm his nerves...

A visitor from New Zealand posted Mon November 7, 2005:
"rudder, RUDDER!" Great shot. I guess you can really do the "wind down" technique in these can't you!

A visitor from Korea, Republic Of posted Mon November 7, 2005:
Wow... That babe truely was in danger.. great~!

A visitor from United States posted Mon November 7, 2005:
Wow, great pic Teemu and great landing captain!

See... it's dancing

A visitor from United States posted Mon November 7, 2005:
Awesome

A visitor from Finland posted Mon November 7, 2005:
Wing down would be the standard landing procedure under crosswind, pls note the a/c is level.

A visitor from Germany posted Sun November 6, 2005:
Wow!!! looks awesome, wish i would have been there

A visitor from Sweden posted Sun November 6, 2005:
