Support I had this image on my list for a long time, but I had not nominated it yet due to quality shortcomings and non-compliance with the standards of recent years. I think now that the legendary An-225 is gone and no longer exists, this nomination is worth a try. -- IamMM (talk) 18:43, 27 February 2022 (UTC)- Support I think this is a great picture timing-wise! The standards may have risen and perhaps many expect higher resolution. I would say it has a sufficient quality, even if a bit noisy. Suits the guidelines, and in the correct context I think this is a good one, and cannot be done again concidering the age of the plane. --Ximonic (talk) 18:58, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
- Support Good, funny portrait. I don't think it matters that the plane in the background no longer exists, and a slight amount of noise in the background is not important. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:31, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
- Support per Ikan and Ximonic, funny photo and the quality is far from terrible Cmao20 (talk) 22:28, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
Comment Interesting, but strong vignetting -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:41, 28 February 2022 (UTC)- Support That's a cool looking photo. --SHB2000 (talk) 07:02, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

- Support on the eve of the 11th anniversary of its being taken. Slightly vignetted, but I don't care. Daniel Case (talk) 23:18, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
- Support --Yann (talk) 12:37, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
- Support That is the appropriate reaction for seeing the An-225. Really bummed that she may never fly again. --El Grafo (talk) 13:03, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

Oppose quite pleasant image but disturbing vigneting + slightly overplayed expression of the model. Christian Ferrer (talk) 20:28, 3 March 2022 (UTC)- Oppose I fully agree with Christian. Having in mind what happened to this plane, this "funny" image is not adequate. --Uoaei1 (talk) 06:25, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
Question I guess that particular plane crashed? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:46, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Ikan Kekek It was destroyed or at least severely damaged during the first days of the war in Ukraine, standing in its hangar. Which is undoubtedly sad, as it is the only 225 ever to be completed. A giant piece of machinery with a fascinating history. A bit like a modern day Spruce Goose, with the notable difference that it actually flew regularly. I do not understand what's wrong with a picture celebrating its glory, and I have no problems believing that to be the genuine facial expression of an aviation nerd (yes, there are female ones). El Grafo (talk) 09:55, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
- Given this image, I don't think Mriya will be able to fly anymore. The An-225 was the largest aircraft in the world, and only one of them was built, which was in the possession of Ukraine after the collapse of the USSR. Seeing it in the Russian sky for any avgeek spotter could be a surprise. --IamMM (talk) 11:05, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
- I didn't realize that that was the big plane that I saw pictures of that was damaged in its hangar. I really fail to see why its destruction years after this picture was taken is really relevant to our judgment here. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:16, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
- I think relevant. Taking such an image can no longer be repeated, and IMHO this is more important than the size of the plane and the reaction of the photographer's face. Flight moments and images of the An-225 are now frozen in history. --IamMM (talk) 06:44, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
- What if they fix the plane, after all? Anyway, I'm sorry if my supporting vote is insensitive to the suffering of Ukrainians, which is certainly not my intention. Perhaps this nomination was at an inopportune time, in that sense, but I can't see changing my vote. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:21, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
- I really hope it can be fixed, but I asked someone who worked in the Air Force Maintenance Department, and he replied that the damage to the cockpit, right wing, and central airframe structure seemed irreparable. --IamMM (talk) 09:15, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose FP? Gimmick shot, despite goodwill we have to Ukraine. Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:34, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose per others opposers. --Milseburg (talk) 14:05, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose per Uoaei1. Not really funny, as it was just destroyed by the Russian invasion. --Andrei (talk) 20:39, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose per others and reso is too low for me. --Ivar (talk) 14:41, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose Per Christian. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 13:22, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
Strong support An excellent capture of someone who gets extremely excited at the sight of a particular plane. You see overdramatic -- I see the playful giddiness I've seen in people who are just really into something and manage to find/capture it (planes, trains, birds), and how that might translate if you told them you were going to take a picture rather than just snapping something candidly. ...and here their excitement is in the same frame as the plane! My support is completely unrelated to the nationalities btw (which I didn't think about until reading the above). — Rhododendrites talk | 13:54, 6 March 2022 (UTC)- Oppose Per others--Lmbuga (talk) 14:54, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
