Remarks: Finally got her!Was on my list for a long time.Went for my evening walk on the ramp and there she was waiting for me in all her glory and under the beautiful ramp lights.In the back is a United Bangladesh ATR-72 and the departing trails belong to a Biman 777 heading to KUL
Remarks: This ATR of the RTAF skidded of rwy14 at VGZR during landing,at about 8AM local time.It was on a cross country training flight,of the total 15 pax 3 have been seriously injured.Its initially being suspected that either the right wheel collapsed or the right main landing
gear brake jammed upon touch down.I reached the airport 20mins after the incident.Nobody was
being allowed near the crash site then as it was in the BAF area of the airport.To take this shot I had to board a flight to cox's bazar on a Regent Airways flight as it was the only flight leaving in 6mins,sat in the jump seat of the dash-8,didnt fasten my seatbelts as I had a hunch that the a/c would rotate before the crash site and it did!So i jumped over the first officer's shoulder,pushed him front and took the shot!Thanks to Partho bhai,hasib bhai,zafor bhai,a former aviation analyst and also cpt Azam and Karim for letting me ride
3rd!Dedicated also to you Tasnim Ahmed!
Remarks: Presenting the 1000th 777.A fitting reg for EK as they ARE the largest operator of the type.She is seen here on her 14th revenue flight and its DAC(verified from a/c log book)
