A low pass (approximately 50ft) alongside bulk carrier Liliana Dimitrova was made for the benefit of the photographer.

This photograph of Armada 871 over the mouth of the River Plate shows the under-fuselage strakes just aft of the radar fairing to 'smooth' the turbulent wake from it. Note also the black hemispherical radar warning receiver antennae on the front and rear of the tip tanks, and the rectangular sensors below the tanks for the AES 210 intelligence-gathering system.
