In the mid 1980s, Kerry Packer arrived at VRD (Helimuster) with two Cessna Citations (or were they LearJets??) and hired half a dozen Bell 47s and a coupla fixed wing to fly to his local station up the road (Humbugger or something. Long story short, someone must've pissed in his ear, but after that, these two jets took off, JUST like in that photo.
Only thing is, the runway is dirt, gravel, crushed rock and dust. No bitumen.
AND ... they did a flypast, after taxiing UP the runway, so they flew through this humungous cloud of dust of their own making!! Apparently, they got back to Sydney, although the fan blades must've copped a pizzling!!
