I had to wind the lens out for that shot.. Here's one taken a few moments earlier:

They are the most amazing machines.. I put an Iraqi one on the ILS one day and the aircraft behind was catching it up big time. When I checked the speed of the IL76 he said "96 knots". I still don't believe it, but I had to take drastic action with the one behind!!
