Thanks Jassy-50!
I somehow couldn't get it to work, but I posted the link nonetheless.
If you could maybe help once again, that'd be great!

Wow! Great thread!
I can't compete with a lot of these, but I have a few of my own that I really like:
This is on approach to FEN in Brazil (look it up ). You can almost hear the island screams "Welcome to Paradise."
I have also been fortunate to have some beautiful seaplane flights in the Pacific Northwest. The low altitude flights can score you some really unique views, like this approach into Lake Union in Seattle:

You were pasting the URL of the web page, not the link. Step #2 of what Jassy posted is what you're doing wrong. Direct links to images on Flickr look something like this:
http://farm1.static.flickr.com/wholebunchofstuff/morestuff_o.jpg
If you've grabbed the right link on the page, it will end in .jpg
Here's a cheat sheet for flickr URLs:
Address 1) http://www.flickr.com/photos/bdjohnson79/504932070/ is the main photo page for one of my images.
Address 2) http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=504932070&size=o is the page I get when I click on the "all sizes" button on page #1.
On that, if I scroll down below the image, there are two text boxes with automatically generated text. The first box contains some HTML code to automate putting it in webpages.
The second box, labeled "Grab the photo's URL" contains:
Address 3) http://farm1.static.flickr.com/229/504932070_a34dee9ce4_o.jpg
#3 is what goes in between the IMG tags.
Technically, according to the Flickr rules, when you click on an image outside of Flickr, it's supposed to link back to the photo page (address #1). So, to do that here on FT, you do this (replacing ()'s with []'s)
(url=Address#1)(img)Address#3(/img)(/url)
And, if you're using Firefox as your web-browser with the Greasemonkey extension, you can install this script to do it automatically - it'll add an extra textbox to the page with the right code for FlyerTak and other sites that use BBCode.

Hold on here a minute!
I am with the air police and I suspect that some of these were taken with DIGITAL cameras. Yes...digital...the ones with ON-OFF switches!
We believe that some of you were operating these cameras when all electronic devices were supposed to be switched to OFF, in direct violation of the instructions of the storm troopers...er...flight attendants. Future violations will be reported to the gestapo...er...TSA.
(Oh yeah, great thread, great photos...thanks)
