Judging by the exhaust, taking off.
One sleek airplane. :)
Landing.
not reading the other answer but the nose appears to be up so I am going to say taking off.
well, there is no smoke from the tires touching the runway from landing, but also both wheels are not touching the pavement also. looks like a takeoff
Unless your shutter speed is really fast the rear wheel isn't spinning. I say landing.. just after flair and just before touchdown.
cool
I'd say that it is landing
Great guesses guys! All will be revealed soon!
If the yellow boxes in the foreground are what I think they are... this plane is landing.
Judging by the position of the landing gear, I'd say she is landing.
i'm gonna guess that the pilot is shooting touch-and-go's... landing and immediately taking off at full thrust to practice takeoffs/landings and/or aborted landings. the flaps seem to be set to takeoff position and the vehicle appears to be near full thrust, yet it's too close to the end of the runway to have built up the velocity necessary to have left the runway in such a short distance, hence my guess that you've captured a touch-and-go just before the 'touch'... anyway, that's my story and i'm sticking to it lol. :) great picture, whatever the answer turns out to be!
Elevators down... must be landing.
It's so obvious.....it's taking off....or landing....or not, as the case may be....... I thought Health & Safety was extreme in this country, but 3 orange lights and a yellow sign to mark the location of every Thorn bush, just so no one pricks them self.......Wow!! :-)
Superb capture my friend. I also say it is Taking off. God bless.
It is obviously landing because both signs point to the thorns behind so s/he is landing beyond the thorns! It would be foolhardy to take off after running over thorns and foolhardy people don't get to fly these things, except in battle!
Amazing shot !!!
Not easy to say but gorgeous shot you have done
Ah! The stunning looking aircraft that during an exercise, Luftwaffe Typhoon's found its weakness.. It can't keep up in a close dogfight... Mind you....at longer range if you're seen ...well! Great shot! Rob
Landing!
No smoke around the tires - so I go with taking off!
