So they're definitely NOT shot from a helicopter!!

I'll bite - how can this perspective possibly be?? It doesn't make any sense. On all sides, this 747 as shown has dropped into the trees? Photo-shopped?? Explanation?

They're too low for refueling, the receptacle doors are closed, and the wing leading edges are in the 'go slow' position. So who/how was this excellent picture taken?

Of the four 2024 Presidential Election candidates (Republicans Donald Trump / J. D. Vance and Democrats Kamala Harris / Tim Walz), only Harris has not made a campaign rally visit to Reno. Trump and Vance have each made one visit, and Walz has made two; and it is rumored that he (Walz) may be making a 3rd visit next week.

Hi again, Hannu. I realize that you are in Finland and so perhaps you are not yet completely familiar with the design of the FlightAware photo gallery. If you look directly below the picture, you will see where there is a place for an informative caption to be entered. Just look right under the dark black photo title "Embraer ERJ-135 (N712AE)." You will see the information I entered at the time I uploaded the photo into the gallery two days ago. That information specifically says "Arriving from SMF with Democratic VP candidate Tim Walz ...". The person on this plane is, as it says, Tim Walz. Mr. Walz is the Democratic candidate running for election as the Vice President (VPOTUS) of the country that runs FlightAware.

Yesterday, Mr. Donald Trump, the former President of the United States (former POTUS), arrived here in his personal Boeing 757, reg N757AF. Four years ago, Mr. Trump tried to be reelected but lost to Mr. Biden. So now Mr. Trump is running for election to a second 4-year term as POTUS and that is why he stopped in Reno yesterday to hold a reelection rally. I will post a picture of his Boeing 757, N757AF, that I took yesterday as it was on short final approach to KRNO.
Tomorrow, Mrs. Jill Biden, President Biden's wife and the current First Lady of the United States (FLOTUS), will be arriving here to hold a campaign rally. Because Mrs. Biden is a Democrat, she will be here trying to win voter support for Democrats Mr. Walz and Mrs. K. Harris. Mrs. Harris is the present VPOTUS and she is now trying to be elected as the first female to ever be the President of the United States (POTUS). Mrs. Biden will arrive in a United States Air Force aircraft.
As you probably now realize, our politicians spend thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars flying around in very luxurious (and expensive) aircraft making speeches and telling lies in their efforts to get elected as POTUS and VPOTUS. We here in the USA love paying taxes to help them do all this flying around. So, when one of these candidates comes here to Reno to make speeches and tell lies, I always try to get pictures of the very luxurious (and expensive) aircraft that my tax money helps them to pay for so they can fly around. It makes me happy to see where my tax money is being spent.
I hope this has answered any questions you may still have had about the picture I posted above and about the next picture I will be posting.

Good memories! I climbed into and fueled that A/C when I was a lineman at N57 c. 1972. Lex's warbird back then.

That is one of the prettiest PA-28s I have ever seen. Question for anyone who might know...are those custom wingtips? The reason I ask is that I flew a rental PA-28 years ago that had custom wingtips that sure looked a lot like this aircraft.

Great photo! Looking at the position of the flight controls, it looks like they are moving the Flanker to the left (rudders and starboard exhaust nozzle) and nose down (horizontal stabilizers, starboard exhaust and canards) and at “low speed” with the flaps and slats deployed. Do the canards move independently or only together? Anyone know?
Written on 10/11/2024 by Phil Pignataro
Sure does have an illusion. Reminds of the Air France Airbus going into the trees.

NOT TA-4. Looks like an A-4M TA-4's had a dual tandem cockpit. This example is a single pilot version.

Great photo! From the position of all the flight controls and the exhaust nozzles, it looks like they’re moving the Flanker to the left in a “slow -speed” (slats and flaps down slightly) descending direction. Does anyone know if the canards move independently or only together? The starboard one is definitely pointing down.
Written on 10/11/2024 by Phil Pignataro
@Andrei, the correct ICAO type code for a Sukoi SU-30 is actually SU27, since both aircraft are code-named "Flanker" by NATO. Same goes for SU-32, -33, -34, -35, -37. If you want your photo to be correctly indexed by Flightaware, you need to change the type code.
