Full Thrust.

I took this image from about half a mile away, couldn't get any closer, but got a decent shot of this plane with engines screaming.

Splendid capture, Maurice.
I love the moment you captured and the special light.
One can feel the thunder of the engines at take-off thrust and almost smell the jet exhaust. A favorite.
Compliments!

Great shot! Contrary tu Sue, I love this part. And I've always this song of Reinhard Mey in my ear: "Above the clouds": Do you know it? LG, Elke

Northeastern wind, runway 03,
The engines’ roar is reaching me.
Like an arrow she whizzes past,
It roars in my ears.
And the wet asphalt quakes.
The rain whirls up like a veil,
And then takeoff and she glides
Towards the sun.

Freedom is said to be boundless
there above the clouds,
It is said that all fears, all anxieties
Are left behind down there, and then
What appears to be grand and weighty
Would suddenly appear insignificant and small. .....

For me, the worst part of any flight in a big plane.....
A good capture Maurice.
