Vietnam Airways Boeing 787-10 · VN-A879

About This Photo

The primary subject is a Vietnam Airlines Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner with the registration VN-A879, visible on the rear fuselage near the tail. The aircraft is oriented left to right, in the process of landing as evidenced by the tires smoke from main wheels making contact with the runway. The large twin-engine jet shows its distinct blue and gold livery with the Vietnam Airlines golden lotus flower logo on the tail against a blue background. The text "Vietnam Airlines" is prominently displayed on the forward fuselage. The engines are mounted under the wings, and the aircraft gear is deployed. Secondary elements include a grass airfield adjacent to the asphalt runway strip, and patches of low shrubbery or small trees in the background, indicating a likely rural or semi-rural airport environment. The clear sky is mostly blue with a few small clouds. There are no buildings, airport terminals, ground vehicles, personnel, or additional aircraft present in the frame. The lighting suggests daylight conditions, likely mid-morning or afternoon with good visibility and minimal shadows. The horizon is flat with natural green vegetation and no urban features.
