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.http://static.pprune.org/images/smilies/badteeth.gif

No pun intended but I did see on the history channel an Interflug a/c take off and disappear from the screen in its own smoke. Granted the pictures were in black and white.
