Boeing 747-400 (VH-OEH)

For a minute I thought that this was a hotel situated near the end of a departure runway and was about to book a room!!

Yeah! I could understand that :) If only!...

that is awesome.

Very cool shot! Congrats on Pic Of the Week selection!

Great picture.

Thanks guys for the comments, glad everyone likes it :)

what a brilliant picture

Great shot used to work for them for 40 years.

This another brilliant shot of the icon of Boeing, the 747 is the best to be maneuverable yet expose so great display

Just fantastic,wish I was there :)

Great shot! Seen in Daily Newsletter!

Congratulation Andrew, great shot!

Beautiful picture of a beautiful aircraft. I love it!

Hey Andrew, great photo! I have a request - would you mind contacting me as I have a request from the guy who was flying this jet at the time (not me!). My email is davemitch(at)gmail(dot)com. Cheers, Dave

Great photo!

Your photo is a "Once every 10 Year Fabulous Shot................

Everything came in to play for a phenomonal photo.

Thankyou Ken! Everything really did come into play! This year a C-17 did the display but nothing like what beautiful VH-OEH did last year!! Didn't get a single photo similar...

The Spirit of Australia in all its glory,✈ before I knew wtf was happening here I thought it must be having landing gear problems and doing a low pass so ppl on the ground can visually check if the landing gear is down. But the turn angle was way to sporty for that... Anyway nice photo 📷 pity it wasn't an A380 just for the wow factor..

Passionate about those birds! Thanx for sharing, Graham!

Thankyou James Moreton, the photo has stumped a few people. I am glad you like it! The wow factor was right up there but this past year I was hoping for an A380 instead got a measly display from a C-17 which didn't come close to the 747.

Thankyou also Claudia Santos!

This has gotta be one of the best. So close, so, oh so wish I had been there.

Thankyou Perry, Really appreciate it!

SIMPLESMENTE, BELO.

Ezequiel Soares de souza, Thankyou!! Really appreciate it!

I can't take my eyes off this photo... Definitely one of my favourite aviation photographs ever! A great capture of the 747 in flight!

Thnkyou Grace Payne, really appreciate the positive comment. I am so glad that you like it!! I fear that it was a once in a life time opportunity, as C-17's have done the flyby over the past two years. For the record, the C-17 flyby's have nothing on the display of this 747!!

not video?

Stunning capture, Andrew. Do you perhaps remember who came third in the race that day? :)

Outstanding shot!

Thankyou all for the comments. Gafin Vod: Unfortunately no video from me, might find something if you go searching.

Viv Pike: Thankyou! Unfortunatly no, too busy photographing the aircraft!!

Andreas Stöckl: Thankyou!! Greatly appreciated :)

Beautiful photo. Flight Tracker said she's just left South America. Is this correct?

Thanks for the memories.

I know that building. It is a very curvy apartment block in St Kilda Rd, Melbourne.

Seeing a Boeing 747 pulling off acrobatics is hands-down the most incredible thing I've ever seen.
