Tu154 taking off from Istanbul Ataturk Airport, showing the way the main gear gets retracted into the wing. Very different from how western jets do this. Also the angle shows how difficult it was to gain height on this hot summer day. This photo is copyright © Streep, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
