That plane looks like a flying dolphin! Flipper in the sky! Amazing capture and a great entry for the challenge.

A beautifully clear image Raj.
It is quite an unusual looking aircraft, and I agree with Jimbob that it resembles a dolphin !
Looks as though it can carry a lot of cargo.
Thanks for your continued participation in the BWC and this is another fine entry :)

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Before I opened the image I thought it was going to be a Beluga whale. It is shaped like one so I'm sure that's why the plane got it name. Wonderful B & W ... excellent detail & a good one for the challenge.

I wonder if it has ever met The Spruce Goose Raj.
It does look like a dolphin.

A dolphin in the air, but a huge one, lol.

Very interesting image Raj and a good entry for the challenge.

A wonderful shot Raj. Were you flying beside the beluga? These guys can only fly in good weather I think like our "guppy" planes that NASA uses to fly shuttle parts, etc. The inside of these planes looks as big as a gymnasium.

Now that's what I call a cargo plane Raj, a very good photograph with perfect lighting. I'd love to see it in colour too.
