The first shot is not a great picture, but does show the amount of dust kicked up by the blast from those three engines as they spooled up! The next one is just after takeoff, and then climbing out [with the undercarraige still retracting]. Enjoy!

Bye bye Tupolev
The Polish Tupolev TU154M left Wellington earlier today. As with its arrival, there was a lot of noise [awesome!] and a fair bit of excitement on the ground also. Quite a few people turned out and lined the fence to get a look at the departure.

I dunno, I think the first shot is quite impressive!
