Hey guys, just did another flight 
This time it's something bigger - a Jumbo and more challenging - a thunderstorm
Aircraft: Boeing 747-200 by POSKY
Airline: Alitalia "Bulgari"
Departure: Rome Fiumicino
Destination: Palermo Punta Raisi
Flight time: 0:30h
Weather: no comments
So here are the sreenies. btw. I tried my best to edit them so if u want to criticize them then don't reply to this post...I know I'm not the editing master so don't make fun of them
Here we are sitting at the gate and waiting for passengers and cargo. As u can see the weather just sucks
This is an unusual flight - Alitalia usually operates a maddog on this route, but lets say many people wanted to fly to palermo so we used Jumbo
Performing last preparations before the flight
So now we bagun our taxi to the active
Taxiing was kinda difficult as the vidibility was less than 2 miles in rain...
But we made it somehow...we didn't even hit another airplane
As it's raining heavily there is lots of water on the runway as well as the taxiway...so the wheels were splashing the water...
Just arrived at the active
Turning to the active, which today is 25
Hmm...the takeoff will be quite difficult as u can't really see much of the runway :0
Turning as seen from the runway...
and as seen by the spotter (who goes spotting during the rain ??)
Ready to begin the takeoff run. Waiting for clearance from the tower.
Full power ! Let's go !
Gaining speed. You can see some water vapour forming on the wings and quite a huge ammount of water being splashed behind.
Rotate !
Seen from the maintenance car or whatever standing by the runway
Bye, Roma !
Climbing away from the "weather hell"
Turning over the highway
Lots of turbulence as we climb away
Finally ! The blue sky
Climbing up to FL300
Still climbing
You can see the sea below us
Cool clouds !
Begining our descend to Sicily
The sea of the clouds
Breaking through the thick layer of clouds. using landing light for safety to avoid collision.
Over the sea. Water vapour forming again on wings, as well as inside the engines
Spotter spotted her
On final
Another angle
Touchdown !
My favourite shot. I tried my best here. Slowing down with water from the runway beign sucked into the engines as we try to loose speed.
Left the runway
At the gate.
Wing view
That's it for today ! i hope you enjoyed them I did Palermo - Catania later on the same jet but I'm gonna post shots later
