• Oppose. Sorry, I think if the photo is to illustrate the plane, it needs to show the whole subject and preferably with a bit of flair. This doesn't do either. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 22:19, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
• Oppose Sorry. As per Diliff. Some aviation pictures make you stop and stare. This just isn’t one of those. Greg L (talk) 01:17, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
• Oppose This is definitely not a good candidate for a FP. It's just dull and boring, and does not show the whole plane! Desiderius82 (talk) 10:07, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
• Oppose As per Diliff - needs to be whole plane at least, let alone some form of wow... Gazhiley (talk) 14:28, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
• Oppose Not to mention, the tailfin of another plane is "growing" out of the nose. I"d love to see an FP of this plane but it needs better composition. Fletcher (talk) 21:53, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
• Oppose I have no real issue with a tarmac shot but it's not a great shot of the plane unless it shows the whole plane. Cat-five - talk 21:57, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
• Oppose Problems with composition and blown-out highlights. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 19:55, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
