Remarks: Lucky shot. At sunset, this MD-11 was 2000 feet below us headed south, opposite to us. I leaned across the cockpit and snapped off 5 frames through the F/Os side window at where I thought the jet would be. I got lucky with one.
Camera : Nikon D80

Something about this photo, you just want to sit and stare. Good work. By the way did you wonder if the World Airways Captain is taking a photo of your ship?

Thanks for the comment, Mike. Very glad you like it. -- While this shot was hard to get, a photo of my jet taken from the MD-11 would have been very, very difficult because of the lighting. Still, one can hope that they were trying. -- Orry

Excellent shot, Orry! In a few days I will have a long-distance trip over the whole Eastern Europe. I'll make sure to keep my D80 closer to me- hope it will have some job! I'm looking forward to see some other pictures from you in the d-base.

How did you flew over Iraq? I thought Iraq`s airspace is closed. I went from Vienna to Abu Dhabi last week and back yesterday and we had to go over Iran, while the shortest route is over Iraq.

Hi Bostjan, Thanks for the comment. We were using the Iraq routes to/from the Persian Gulf earlier this year, but now my company is no longer using them. I think it was because of the high number of TCAS RA's with military aircraft that were occuring, but whatever the reason, I think most airlines are again avoiding Iraq.

Such a beautiful shot Orry! You need shots like these where you could spend hours gazing at.
