I watched the take off today from the North Perimeter.
Having seen so many from airside over the years, I wasn't expecting to get such a lump in the throat this time...

The conditions were ideal (apart from night-time TOs which are something else), but the humidity was perfect for seeing the huge overwing vortices. The fence I was clinging onto vibrated along with my chest.

How I'll miss that feeling.
