Liftoff!
This UPS 747 is taking off on the north/south runway at Ted Stevens Airport in Anchorage, Alaska. The Chugach Mountains frame the background while brown grass frames the foreground. They had just completed work on these runways a month earlier which, while they were working on them, forced takeoffs on the east/west runways which meant flying over the city of Anchorage. I think lots of folks were happy when they reopened these runways!
Taken 8 November 2019 at Ted Stevens International Airport, Anchorage, Alaska.
