Typical Cargo Service from Australia To Tasmania

[Aharon Dayan]

Shalom and greetings all my pals,

Presenting a nice typical Ansett airline operated TNT 707 cargo flight from YMML Melbourne Airport which is  Australia's second busiest airport located 14 miles northwest of the city centre of Melbourne to YMLT Launceston  located in the rural area of Western Junction nine miles from Launceston's city centre in Tasmania.

Loading cargo goods on a rainy day



There are lots of cargo bins to be loaded!!



Tsk tsk tsk   bad weather!!



HEY you forgot one more cargo bin over there!!



Thunderstorm's lighting brightened the plane that just finished its pushback  (yeah must be tough to take screenshot at PRECISELY SAME SPLITTING SECOND TIME as lighting happens!)



Taxiing to short of runway 16



Check out the airport's cargo hold apron ground!





Leaving cargo apron



Still taxiing to short of runway 16

Leaving the airport terminal behind



Crossing runway 09/27 to continue long taxi on taxiway A



Holding short of runway 16 awaiting for take off clearance from airport tower controllers



Engines after receiving take off clearance started to roar with thick black smokes while entering into runway 16 for immediate take off

Passing Melbourne suburb called Keilor East



Making left turn with background view of railroad tracks called Sunshine Railway Line Linear Reserve seen in front of the plane's nose



Passing the same area mentioned above



Climbing through clouds



Yeah flying through clouds can be fun as long as you do not run into lightings



Now above thick clouds





Sorry that thick clouds are blocking view of ground textures preventing me from identifying suburbs



Wow the clouds are as high as the plane's cruising F250 altitude!





Passing YFLI Phillip Island Airport seen in front of the plane's nose which is small private airport on Phillip Island that is connected to mainland Victoria area by bridge called Philip Island Road or highway route number B420 also seen in front of the plane

Passing town of Georgetown bordering Tamar River in Tasmania



Passing landscape of Tasmania



At 3,000 ft past lake also called Tamar River



Tasmania is famous for very green landscape



In front of nose of plane shows high green hills called Reedy Marsh Forest Preserve and Brushy Rivulet Forest Reserve



Still at 3,000 ft with background view of mountains called Mount Maurice Forest Reserve
