Hi,
Flew in yesterday.... had 1 hour of sun and clouds left,






Then checked into hotel...






First day...




Lifting from the sea of jumbos, with one of the longest takeoff run of the day...


Cheers.....
Raj

Great shots Raj!!! Very Happy

The first three pics were 25R arrivals, correct? Which runway was in use for arrivals in the morning (8AM-11AM), and how often were the runways switched?

Yup 25R.. they switched only once during the day today. For winter months prevailing winds dictate 07s usually. Wx was so so today... tons of cloud and some rain too.
