This is where we see who is a pilot in the viewing audience. Is this plane landing or taking off? Explain your thinking! There is a clue in the picture. The answer will be posted in the comments on Friday at lunchtime.
I would think that if it were taking off, the back set of tires would leave the ground at the same time, where if it is landing, unless the pilot were dead on, the tires would be as the picture shows- the rear left wheels are in contact with the runway, and the right rear tires are not.
But I'm not a pilot, and don't even pretend to play one on tv.

I'm guessing it's landing.

If you have ever flown in an airplane you can tell which of the two answers is correct.
I'm going to say taking off. You can see the underside of the wings, but it doesn't look like the flaps are down.
I would guess taking off - The flaps aren't extended as far as for landing
taking off. no flaps, plus as being IN a plane I didn't think we came in at such a nose up angle. Could be wrong though. I'm not pilot.
Correct answer is.. taking off. The flaps are not extended as they would have been for landing.
