A380

Heathrow T5

Sitting in the lounge watching 'planes take off while waiting for mine to take me home.
I understand a bit about aerodynamics but still find it amazing to see something as large as an A380 leave the ground.

Perfectly timed and framed. I love watching these big birds take off too. BV

I rather suspect that you know more than "a bit" given what your vocation appears to be. And I certainly hope that they can leave the ground because if they can't then come August, I'm stuffed. Have you ever tried DRIVING one of those things from Sydney to Rome? One good thing is that the other traffic gets out of your way in a hurry.
I really need to do more "outside of the box" thinking when it comes to framing like this. Although in this case you've made inside a box, outside of the box.

very nice framed

Well done it is amazing how anything so heavy and huge can fly.
I do think the framing and angle has made this shot brilliant.
Big eye catcher and something different.

I know nothing about aerodynamics, but I have the same feeling. I'm just glad they can in fact get off the ground!

It's a bit of a beast!

And it is so quiet inside...that and it's smooth, silent landing are what impressed me most. Safe travel, Bill

I agree... my monkey brain knows that can't be happening.

well framed. The tilt adds a extra dimension.
