Boeing 747-400 —

I think it is a B747-400 and not B 747-200.

It's not "gear going down"; it's already down and locked - all gear doors are closed.

I agree,,,its a B744.

Like where you're at with this shot! Sweet!

Great 747

thanks for the comments. It was taken from a Cessna Cardinal. While shooting aerials for Gilbert Southern and the construction of the 'new' north runway I got fairly close, but safe, to many airliners and couldnt resist taking some photos of them.

Well done.

Lufthansa only have the B747-400 an the B747-8i
