"979 going through final check-out at the end of the runway at Kadena. The interesting thing about this picture is that the engines are being run-up while the brakes are locked. There was a road right behind the end of the runway and the blast from 979 would have been felt by anything on the road (traffic is halted at moments like this). Notice in the picture that the grass behind the aircraft is being flattened and the trees bent over as the engines are spun up (see detail below). The picture was framed to catch the rear of 979 and the dancing folliage." - Steven Myatt |
