48hr Photo Comp: Let's Burn Rubber

Post by LN Strike Eagle »

Okay, new theme and it's pretty self-explanatory. Looking for your best shots of aircraft at the moment the tyres hit the ground. Max three per person.

Virgin Atlantic 747-400, G-VLIP, touching down at Manchester one sunny morning in May 2018. I was working for Swissport at the time and about three hours or so after shooting it, I was in the bulk hold loading it for a trip to JFK. Happier, simpler times.

3 mediocre entries from me (I seem to do more take-off shots than landing shots):

One wheel down:

Not much to hand, and not enough time to dive into the external hard drive. So just the one entry from me, with a Corsair Jumbo leaving a fair chunk of rubber on Kemble's runway earlier this year.

Not many burning tyres (tires ?) for me, due to the grass runway at my usal La Ferté.
Some anyway:

Thanks guys. A fine selection all round.

Mentions to the excellent B-1s from Pete Fenwick and Mark Meades, Martin's superb Virgin 744 and three really strong contenders each from Alisdair, Shaun and Tomasz but the winning image belongs to Melvin Furster and his very pleasing photo of a Mirage 2000 touching down on one wheel; beautifully framed with a clean backdrop and superbly timed to catch the drama. Congratulations and over to you for the next one.

Thanks!

Nice selection indeed, those B-1's sure lay down a fair amount of rubber :open_mouth:

Next comp is up; A-10's
