"City of Gold Coast/Tweed" (Del 1/81) rotating off Rwy 15 as QF059 to Nagoya. This shot was taken using around 50mm from just outside the white gable markers near the runway. My ears are still ringing from the experience. Thanks must go to the Cairns Port Authority Airport Safety Officers for the airside access and tour, these shots are for you guys!
