Fedex MD-11F, N574FE

Due to a technical problem I believe on Sunday night, which caused the departure of FX75 to Sydney to be delayed until Monday 18th April at 1400. So with some time to spare, I managed to head out and get these photos of N574FE taxing out some 18 hours late. It's rare to see the departures on FX in Auckland on Sundays as they leave after sundown, so making photo ops out of the question.

Ok...the MD-11 is a hot favourite of mine so sorry for so many shots, but it was a good an opportunity to miss in daylight hours.

I just love the rate of climb and power of the MD-11's, and they sure put on a good show at takeoff, and today FX75 sure went up at a great rate, as I tried to get in the takeoff photos below.
