A visitor from United States posted Mon June 27, 2011: 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 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 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?"
