  • Support as nominator --—Bruce1eetalk 06:03, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Nice angle - it's a bit soft though; could certainly do with a bit of selective sharpening in Photoshop... --Fir0002 05:13, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Per Fir. BTW, I moved the picture to the lead spot in the article to help increase the encyclopedic value. Dusty777 18:28, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support A majestic piece of equipment, and even more impressive when viewed up close and personal (I saw her when she passed through El Paso back in November 2011). Ironically, I was about to nominate this for FPC myself when I noticed that a nom was already open. Great minds really do think alike, eh? :) TomStar81 (Talk) 03:36, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak support. Very nice, but the head room is a big mean for my taste. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 08:09, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak oppose has focus problems when viewed at full size, especially visible on the far left of the engine and on the right side of the image. This is a decent picture but it's not "among Wikipedia's best work." Pine 09:17, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Magnificent photograph. Selective sharpening as mentioned above could fix the very minor focus issues, but even as it is this is a brilliant picture well worth showcasing. - The Bushranger One ping only 21:38, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
