Terrific shot and even more interesting when I saw the EXIF. So, was that so really damn close? wow! May 04, 2008

No words to say. Marvelous and scary... February 17, 2008

l am invited to Montenegro in the Adriatic Sea so, l hope to catch similar Russian aircraft like this. One of my favourite airports in the World..... Congratulations Petr February 16, 2008

Oh boy those beasts are lazy to rotate! A great angle and a great shot. February 16, 2008

Very nice action shot Petr, Keep them coming !! February 16, 2008

That's marvellous...I bet you really enjoyed this day February 16, 2008

Typical Russian rotation. Right at the very end of the runway. Fantastic shot mate. Thanks for posting them here. February 15, 2008

Great photo. That must have been quite exciting for you to see! February 15, 2008

I'd be scared to stand at the end of the runway with an IL-86 taking off ;) Great shot though. February 15, 2008

Oh yesss... What a lumbering piece of machinery the IL86 is !! Still there's an element of beauty about it. February 15, 2008

great capture Petr! are these beasts so underpowered that they always rotate that late or is there another reason for it? February 15, 2008

awesome! February 15, 2008
