thetramfixer Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 taking off...... although it's pretty close... the wings bend upwards on take-off due to the lift generated... which says that as he's landing there should be little or no lift and the wings should sag.. the wheels confuse it slightly, as they look like they're setting down on the tarmac.. been over 5 years since i worked on the ramp at the airport, and my disclaimer for my RAF service is over a decade.. (just in case i'm wrong !!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j@cko Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 it looks to me like its actually landed and the pilot has gone for a brew, not got a clue about the big un behind it tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edhunteruk Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Landing. Definitely landing. if it was landing then where is the smoke off the wheels???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laticsrblue Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 The flaps are down, so, landing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 The flaps are down, so, landing. The flaps are down when taking off also for lift!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueJazzer Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 landing. No air turbulance at back of the engines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyg101 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 The wings have additional flaps that rise upwards "/" to create air resistance which slows the plane down. These arent up on this picture so i say taking off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These arent up on this picture so i say taking off. spoilers..... that's what i thought too, but alas i think we may be wrong! if you look at his wheels, the outer bogies aren't level like you would hope they would be on take-off... he's either messed his rotation up or his landing aint that good!

davegtt Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Landing, as mentioned the weight distribution on the wheels isnt even, if he was taking off Id be a bit curious how he got into that position. Also the flaps that rise to slow the plane down dont rise IIRC until all wheels have touched down.... Pretty sure its landing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davegtt Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 oops. ok maybe I was wrong but hey, maybe the second pic was taken at a later date when it was taking off... conspiracy theory ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

footy68 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I thought landing, but I claim it's a bad photo due to the fact you can't see whether he has his reverse thrust cans engaged or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
