No wonder the departure angel of attach is so steep; the below show mostly short-legs for this heavy, long-hauler.

Always amazes me that "we" get these engineering marvels off the ground-go some place-return to the ground safely all with a few knobs, levers, switches, etc.

Hats off to the dreamers, the engineers, the implementers and all the craftsmen men who make it happen.
"Steep climb out", my thought exactly. Perhaps a relocation flight, hence passenger-less?

What a beautiful, LONG, flying tube! I love the looks and flying on 757s. Took a ride on a United/Continental 737-300 long John from SFO to Maui a few years back. One of my favorite aircraft.

This is not N918WN. N918WN is Illinois One and the flag on this one is not the state flag of Illinois. This looks like Missouri One.

I like this one! I always loved the MD-80s, oops! I mean 717.they could have called it BD-80 ("Bad Dog 80"). 717 is almost an insult for craft type. If its a duck, then call it a duck. Good example is DC-10 to MD-11.That shows some respect, and rolls off the tongue, unlike "717."

BTW, isn't that climb out a bit steep! Some serious thrust, huh?
Nice pic!

Last plane to leave the airfield before the zombies catch up? All the other planes got a head start?

Nice pic, Gary! Dean, how did you obtain a driver's license at age 12? Haha! Pretty good writing, grammar and expression for an adolescent! I'd guess the 1st digit of your real age is a "3" or higher?

Yet another beautiful, artistic shot! I love the contrast of all the bright multicolored lights against the dark background, plus the wet tarmac reflections.
Written on 13/12/2019 by Michael Wulfsohn
Really nice pic! I really like the feeling of movement, with the props spinning visibly, and the background just a blur from the planes's takeoff speed.

Great angle for your pic. Really nice shot. Beautiful bird!

What a great shot! Fascinating perspective, and quite artistic. Very cool. Reminds me of seeing 747s pull up to the gate at MIA when I was about 12 years old, and park about 15 feet from the windows at the gate. I could see the pilots' faces, and sometimes get a wave. It was a unique thrill to see how gargantuan they were (are). Thanks for the photo and memories.

Nice pic of one of the ugliest aircraft ever to (hopefully) leave the ground. It looks like the wing struts were glued onto the fuselage. I wouldn't get on that plane unless it was an emergency. It doesn't even look aerodynamic, more like a cattle trailer.

Most of issues were related to pilots not understanding the flight controls and how to handle EO situations properly. There were no changes made to the aircraft, but pilots had to have special training. It's got to do with the MU using spoilers for roll control, not ailerons.

According to the US Energy Information Administration burning coal to generate electricity releases approximately 50% more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere per unit of energy than burning gasoline.

I can't tell. Is there a safety person on the brakes in the cockpit?

I worked in Avionics and Electrical Engineering at Mitsubishi Aircraft International July 79 through the company's closure in March 1986. The MU-2 (both long and short models) were a fun project to work on. And the Japanese professionals brought over from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Nagoya, Japan were wonderful wot work with - extremely interested in their "American experience".

If they were still here, I might probably still be with them.
More great work
