Aviation Photo #1383502 Airbus A340-541 - Emirates

The angle and timing is just pefect, great work Lars!

Very nice picture. I was wondering whether it was take off or landing. Thrust setting suggested take off but the smoke was rather strange. But then your comment cleared it up. 5 stars.

5*

this is just amazing

you can still see the dust but the spoilers arn't up yet so you can tell its gonna be a touch and go

Astonishing! nice pic

Great timming. Great Pic. Thanks for sharing.

Looks correctly aligned however ...

I too was also confused wheather this was a take off or a landing! there appears to be no flex in the wings so i assumed this was a very hard landing! great shot!

Gr8 catch !^^

Great catch and nicely framed.

Do think you there must be some real experts here that can so precisely see what the thrust setting is :), some hot air does not say to much.

They are all TRYING to be experts. You can't see what the Thrust setting is unless you are sitting in flightdeck at that very moment.

*5 Great Photo!

And for the people who think that the photographer "can't tell what the thrust setting was"... The photographer was there, I'm sure that he could here the engines, and, can you not see the spray being blasted off the runway from the TOGA thrust?

Cool fotography. to me, it looks like some bounced landing recovery. who knows?! pretty nice capture, anyway!

Try to read the full red CAT runway sign on the right centre. You can't... Heat haze,jetblast, 'remous'... what thrust looks like. A345 and 777LR rock (the world).

With a full crowd of spectators no less! Super shot, quick-thinking and a quick trigger finger great job to the photog!

Amazing
