Hope the pilots made a landing after the tower informed them of that tarmac rub.

Very great capture! Sometimes tail-engine aircraft scares me when it comes to that. OWIE!! Everyone must have heard that.

I bet they call that pilot sparky after that. Excellent shot, but I do hope it is not something that can be seen to often.

Boy do I miss that airline...Gotta admit that the although it might not be the queen of the skies, it is indeed the most beautiful aircraft out there, and those winglets give it a sex appeal that no other a/c had equal.

Is this considered an aborted take off or take off and land for damage inspection, ouch!

A forced smile ... shave the butt on the asphalt pavement, nearly 200 km per hour, is not pleasant, even if it is aluminum

72 pilots - what causes over rotation and tail strikes? Simply over rotation? A weight and balance miscalculation? Thanks.
