"I flew into Vienna International from London Heathrow on an Airbus A319-131 G-EUOD. I had a window seat and shot the 777 as we were taxing to the stand.

It has only been through your communication that I realize the coincidence."

"Until today, I didn't know that one of my aviation pictures shows 9M-MRO. But you're right. So to be honest, nothing changed. It's a tragedy..."

"Glad that there are people out there has deep feelings to what happened to MH370, as it has impacted me much...

"They lost contact with MH370 to Beijing... "

... and from then on... buzzed of calls and 'whatsapp' messages goes through my handphone. Then several stories cropped up, giving hopes and dashing hopes.

Remembering that day and the latest official information that we had, giving me chills up the spine, 9M-MRO was still flying, alone, somewhere in the loneliest place on this planet, far south of the Indian Ocean when I received that call from Sallehudin.

I was on an assignment for an aviation agency to captures aircraft movements around Kuala Lumpur International Airport. The B777 aircraft has this unique and very elegance entrance style to the runway for lining up, thus I had several shots of 9M-MRO that day lining up for take off from runway 32R. I'll say a little prayer in my heart that they'll find MRO soon, find out what actually happened and prayed for the souls on-board, when I look at my photographs of 9M-MRO."

Malaysia Airlines used to have a daily flight from Kuala Lumpur to Roma Fiumicino. The service was cancelled something like one or two years ago after a very long and successful history. It was MH14 / MH15. The incoming flight arrived around 6 AM and departed back to KUL around lunch time. It was a typical catch of my plane spotting early morning sundays: a nice livery on a beautiful aircraft at the best possible sunrise light. However, a 6 AM arrival was not really convenient during winter or when you are not strong enough to wake up at 4 on sundays. The take-off was less photographed because of the midday bad and hard light. So, in the end, a picture of the Malaysian 777 was not that common here in Rome.

After learning about MH370, I felt curious about 9M-MRO and started wondering if I had a picture of it. Surprisingly, I had it, and it was taken during takeoff, with a horrible midday light. I usually don't even shoot at that time of the day. All my fellow spotters who were with me that day don't have that picture, it seems that I was the only one shooting...

That picture had a really strong impact on me. I have a kind of friendship relation with the aircrafts I photograph, so it was like I was missing a friend. Moreover, all those lives lost on it made it all way more sad."

"As for what I felt and where I was when I heard the news? I was at home on Facebook when a friend posted a link and I immediately thought of Air France flight 447 that crashed into the Atlantic Ocean, it sounded exactly the same, airliner disappears off the radar over water..

"As for the picture I took, I didn't realize at first that I even took a picture of that plane, until I looked at the registration again. I then searched my photos on airliners, as 9M-MRO sounded very familiar. The story of the picture? Nothing special, I had just landed in Rome from Toronto, got off the plane (We were taken by a bus to the terminal) and saw the giant 777 taxing so I decided to snap a photo and then never thought about it after until I realized that I had taken a photo 4 years ago of the same plane that went missing...

Almost all aviation photographers have thousands upon thousands of photos, out of which a few photos make people go “wow“. This picture wasn't a “wow“ shot by any means, but for me at least, it's a huge “wow“ now. To have it in my collection is something. I would like to say that my condolences go out to everyone who was on board and their families and hopefully we all find out what happened."

"The photo was taken in Perth Western Australia, taken back in August of 2010. The moment I saw back those images that I took of the plane, I was feeling shock and glad at the same time, because I never believe that plane is now gone and I have in my personal collection a copy of the plane...

When the news of the missing flight first came to light in the early morning of March 8th, I was with my family group meetings with my two kids in one of the family group homes. I was actively involved with my mates whom are all aviation/spotter group through wassap chat group that we created for our little group....Then it went serious as it turns out to be still missing after news about it landing on an airport in Nanjing was a fake, my heart started pounding hard, just couldnt believe my eyes and ears that a Malaysian Plane, furthermore a triple seven is missing.

It's just sad really, and being a Malaysian myself, I might even have had a ride on that similar aircraft once upon a time ago flying from Kuala Lumpur to Perth back in the days before Airasia X came to this part of the world. The Triple seven is a joy to fly in. It's graceful with its huge twin engine, feeling robust in the air and beautiful to photograph in action with all the flaps down, the triple landing gear bogeys. Now having learn this is the first total airframe and lives lost of a Triple Seven in a crash, it's just unbelievable in this modern aviation world."

"When I took that photo it was a cloudy day with some heavy shower and MRO took off after one of that shower creating that light and that photo is one of most beautiful I've ever taken..

Right now i'm just hoping that the wreckage will be found fast."

"Most of the times it was just a normal day for us. When I have time and the weather is good, I go spotting. Yes, sometimes there comes a special painted aircraft, or there's a delivery flight from Toulouse or Seattle or somewhere else, but most of them are just regular flights. 7 weekly flights, same aircraft type, same landing runway,..
Of course when there's a plane crash or the retirement of a plane, I will think, oh, I've seen this one, and now it won't be flying anymore."

"I am a retired pensioner and former private pilot, and I live in a suburb of Melbourne. My hobby is photography, primarily aircraft. On a visit to Melbourne's Tullamarine Airport in April 2011, taking photos of lots of aircraft, including 9H-MRO.  At the time of the disappearance, I was in hospital recovering from cancer surgery. I spent 18 days in hospital, and gave no thought to the fact that I may have photographed the aircraft involved in flight MH370. It was not until I was home again, and received a Favorite flag from a Flickr member that I realized the significance of my photo."

"…I am a contributor to Wikimedia for many years and as I spend a lot of time on airports, I have started one day with aircraft spotting while waiting for my flights. That has developed more and more and sometimes when I am back to Switzerland - my home country - I also take aircraft pictures around Zurich International Airport...

The picture of 9M-MRO I took while waiting for my flight back to Switzerland at Johannesburg airport in South Africa. 9M-MRO is one out of minimum 4 aircrafts I have spotted which crashed in the meantime. One of the most famous one was Korean Airlines 007 which was shot down by the Sovjet Airforce over Sakhalin Island. I photographed that one in Honolulu in 1981."

"I’m an Airline Captain, I’m a spotter. I love to watch and photograph the take-offs of heavy aircrafts, I know they are not a metal, flying birds, they connects thousands of people in a journey to happiness.

Now one them is missing with full of stories, only left behind some photographs...

In remembrance for those onboard."

"...I was very pleased to get a image of the aircraft and I still think it was one of the best aircraft I saw in Istanbul.

When I heard the news I was deeply saddened as I was in south east Asia in 2013 and I flew on two Boeing 777's. I heard the registration, I wasn't sure but I had a feeling it could be aircraft I had seen, I checked my flickr and I was shocked, suddenly my great feeling of seeing this airliner turned to deep sadness that this aircraft has been lost with nearly 200 passengers....

...I now see the image as a memorial to all those who have been lost."

"I took the image while working on an early shift as an A&P mechanic at Frankfurt Intl. Airport. It was a sunny morning and for the first time in this week the sun came out and offered a nice photo opportunity after days of dull weather. I had this picture on my hard-drive for quite some time prior to publishing it because to me it seemed to be not good enough. One day I started editing old pictures, came across 9M-MRO and figured out that the result was worth the work.

My thoughts go to the families of the victims and everybody else involved in this flight. From the mechanics to the crew and all ground stations."

"LAX is my favorite airport as it has the most variety of heavy aircraft and operators...

When I saw the news about MH370 and that it was a 777, I immediately remembered that I had taken photos of Malaysia Airlines 777s in the past.... and, lo and behold, I did have some photos of 9M-MRO from June 22, 2012. When I saw that I did, indeed, have some shots of this plane, it sent some shivers up my spine. While the event itself was terrible and tragic, I was glad to have photographed this airplane while it was still operating.

I feel grateful to have photographed that plane on that day."

"We wanted to wake up early in the morning to catch the most long haul flights. It was a beautiful sunrise at this day as you can see on the picture, and a little bit foggy. Perfect for catching the early birds.

The first plane which we caught was the now missing Triple 7 9M-MRO. I was so happy to have this one spotted, cause it was my first Malaysian, and until today, the lonliest.

I read a lot in Facebook about the missing plane, than i remembered that I've caught a Malaysian... it was the same as which it's missing. I was so surprised about this and can't really believed it. They have 105 planes, 15 Boeing 777-200 and I caught exactly this one, I don't know what I really should said now. I felt sad and wrote to my Polish friend that we have the plane, he was at this moment really surprised too."

"My Encounter with Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200, 9M–MRO….

When I took my picture(s) of Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200, 9M–MRO – I didn't think much of it, other than that it was a beautiful fall day here in Southern California…

Earlier this spring, 2014, I learned that Malaysia Airlines would quit flying to Los Angeles altogether and with that eliminate all flights to the US, so I decided to pay a little extra attention to Malaysia Airlines…

A couple of days later, I saw on the news, that a Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 was missing.

I wondered if I might have a shot of this particular aircraft, and a quick search on "9m-mro" on my computer revealed that I did…that discovery created a strange feeling.

It was soon reported that transponders had been turned off, not long after departure, followed by a drastic course change. This news, plus information to the effect that plane had kept on flying well into the early morning, turned the story into a genuine mystery.

The thought of what the passengers might have experienced is horrifying and haunting…

Now there are only a day or two left before the "pings" from the "black boxes" go silent and for the sake of friends and relatives of those onboard, I hope the truth about the aircraft's fate is uncovered and soon..."

That's the second time that I took a photo of a crashed airliner. First it was the crashed National Jumbo at Bagram and now the Malaysia Airlines B777-200. It is an unreal and very incredible feeling for me.

I heard about the crash when I was at school. I just thought "Oh no. No crash again!". It is very spooky because I think nearly 20% of all aircrafts I spotted are crashed or they had some accidents, for example an emergency landing. I took that photo of the 9M-MRO nearly 2 months before crashing, on the 12. January 2014 at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport.

It is nearly like a bad dream!
