Is it my imagination, but there seems to be no dust been blown up ( or more importantly, forward ) due to the props been in reverse.....nice brake fire though.
Why is it the poor co-joe has to stick his neck out...

Over 30 years ago, Interflug, the old east German flag carrier used to operate a schedule service between Khartoum and Addis. Departure times were always about 14.00 LT IIRC. What will stay with me for life is when they took off at +45oc + it was NOT a pretty sight. The things used to disappear, ON the horizon in a cloud of black smoke.
