October 10, 20196 yr 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!
