Photographer’s remark

A7-MAB The first visit by a Qatar Air Force aircraft to Adelaide, and possibly Australia. Seen here shortly after takeoff from runway 05. It must've been lightly loaded as its takeoff roll was shorter than most airliners that had taken off that morning. Very impressive especially considering how hot the morning was.
