- Reason
- I was a bit surprised by the scarcity of FPs of commercial airliners, especially for a plane as iconic as the 747. This image is featured on Commons. It illustrates the takeoff well, showing the undercarriage, flaps and exhaust, with the control tower and terminal in the background providing context. Currently it's mostly just doing the job of showing what the 747-400 variant looks like though. (I thought of adding it to Takeoff but there's not much space there and I don't feel knowledgeable enough on the subject.)

- Oppose Airport buildings in background mar the composition. --Janke | Talk 19:14, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose – per Janke, and the base of the buildings are cut off. Bammesk (talk) 02:44, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose – Yeah, the outboard engine on the right wing looks sorta like it's exhausting right onto the tower. Sca (talk) 15:30, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
- Well, personally I think the fact that the juxtaposition allows us to actually see the exhaust jet coming out of the engines adds instead of subtracts from EV, but I'd understand if others don't share the opinion. --Paul_012 (talk) 15:37, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
