Tony, Thanks for this great picture! I didn't think the oldest veteran of the Biman fleet would look so grandiose! May 20, 2011

Spectacularly, stupendously, strikingly, superbly, scarily, scarcely ........beautiful shot Tony. It's been said many times already but I had to say it again as I have just come across this shot. I never had much time to browse when this was loaded so that could be the reason why I missed it at the time. However I am so glad that I came across it today. Really, really well done and many, many congratulations. March 14, 2010

Yikes! I've flown Biman. Scary. I do not recommend it!!! October 07, 2007

Great picture! I think the picture is absolutely fabulous, but somehow for me the biman red and dark green colour scheme with a black nose really doesn't do justice to the outlook of a big plane. September 25, 2006

Have checked the full size original and others in the sequence - I suspect the apparent missing bit is an effect of the angle of view and the front slats which are extended either side of the engines September 21, 2006

Great picture for sure on one of my favourite planes!! But............. I'm no expert but dont you guys get the impression that there is a piece of wing missing on the right wing right next to the fusulage??? Take a close look and let me know if this is normal!!! September 20, 2006

The best angle in the world, to view a tri-jet! And the best picture of one in sometime! September 17, 2006

A wonderful photo....congratulations! September 17, 2006

Simply stunnning Tony. One of the best photos from Ringway in a long time!! September 17, 2006

I've been to Manchester a few times to try and capture the Biman, but I think I could visit 10,000 times and still not get a pic as good as this! AWESOME! September 17, 2006

Guys, thanks for all the comments - one of those right place, right time moments after weeks of intending to go down on a Sunday afternoon for the Biman September 16, 2006

Well done Big T Quality as always. September 15, 2006

It's been said 15 times already but I think it deserves another one. Great shot Tony! September 15, 2006

Magnificent shot there Tony! September 14, 2006

Nice shot ! amazing ! September 14, 2006

Amazing Tony. Good job and congratulations. September 14, 2006

Well done, awesome shot ! September 14, 2006

Ohoooooooooo. Another photo for the flight mangers office? There are a couple of reasons why you can do a "high pitch angle on take-off." and I suggest in routine operation none is for the benefit of enthusiastic onlookers! These can be wrong trim, wrong rotation speed, (too fast amplifies the control forces making things lively but normally two small requiring a greater angle of attack to lift off.) Many airlines monitor flight parameters and this kind of thing can spike the tape with an event............ September 14, 2006

Wow! Simply a stunning shot you got there Tony! Great aircraft, great angle and great light....and without a doubt great skills from the photographer It all makes for a wonderful image, and it makes me think that I should go back to MAN real soon. Thanks for sharing! September 14, 2006

Perfect timing! Awesome.... September 14, 2006

Stunning stuff Tony! I'd have given it the SC title too had I have screened it. Cheers, Dale. September 13, 2006

The best on Jetphotos now! September 13, 2006

This pilot ain't playin'!! He's making this DC-10 hustle up!! Flying it like he stoled it!! Super shot, Tony! Gets my vote! September 13, 2006

Just amazing Tony! I got to see this but with an A300 which also got an SC. I love these types of photos! Great job! Tomas. September 13, 2006
