He is more like 3 milimeters from losing his job!
B-777/2/3 I just think the most elegant ACFTs ever built! (São Luis - MA / Jorge)
As others have said: there is great contrast between the pinky-gold main body of the B772 and the sky with good saturation.
The photographer also needed to be on the button (irony intended!) to catch a shot of something doing 170 - 190 knots in the split second that it nearly tailstruck.
It also documents a very close encounter of the grazed backside type!
