Aviation Photo #1269686 Boeing 737-8FE - Virgin Blue Airlines

Looks like a stunning air-to-air shot, also notice the residue fuel being released on the right wing! Excellent shot!

Nice angel of this nice bird.

Stunning shot, even for Cairns. Great timing, well done. K.

Great capture of an unusual opportunity.

Stuning! The lack of any reference point makes it seem as if you had taken the picture mid air from above as the aircraft was banking left.

One of your best Martin! Makes me want to pick up the ol' camera and go out shooting!

Keep 'em coming!

Awesome angle and great clarity. Nice Capture

Wicked perspective!

Great job ! Almost better than air-2-air...

Great shot, Martin. Philthy

Excellent shot Martin; definitely has the ..WOW..factor

Excellent composition and depiction of movement. power and beauty in one shot.

Top shot Martin! The atmosphere and the angle are just awesome.

Superbe shot! And if you look close enough you can also see a bit of fuel coming out of the right fuel vent...5 stars

My New Background!

Wow, this photo is incredible!. It blew me away.

Love the angle.

This photo is surely in my Airliners TOP 10!!
Excelent shot!

I love this photo. Her red livery makes a great contrast from the background.

Why virgin blue aircrafts are red? Isnt it ironic? (I felt like Alanis Morisette hehe)

Great Photo, i love shots that get the angle these planes fly at sometimes.
to the visitor who asked why are Virgin Blue planes red? in Australia we call someone with red hair bluey. so its a bit of Australian slang

Stunning shot mate, to speak with good old Steve Irwin, she's in her very own habitat! And btw, the small stripe coming off the trailing edge on the right wing is definitely NOT fuel. Strange that so many people are still unaware of the fact that the seventhirty simply does not sport this option, it never has and never will I suppose.

Great shot of a great plane! Love the baby vortex off the right wing (no people..its NOT fuel).

To the visitor from Mexico (Back in 2008 hah): "Why virgin blue aircrafts are red? Isnt it ironic? (I felt like Alanis Morisette hehe)"

In Australia, if you have red hair, you're usually called "Bluey"

Oh, man ... difficult to describe .. What a familiar sensation! Wonderful! ... this type of tropical trees makes me feel on a flight here in Brazil .. Cheers! ;-) 5* [Mrvsk]

Looks lovely banking to the left

Awesome action shot, very dramatic! Nice catch with the fuel venting out... Yes it is fuel. On hot/humid days like this the fuel expands and then is ventilated from the surge tank through that small vent.
