Description
As I work at an airport I get to see lots of aircraft taking off, landing, taxiing and parked on the bays. To log this cache you will need a photo of a departing aircraft - "taking - off" at any airport anywhere around the world. If you are in the photo that does not matter, however they can not be from within the aircraft.
Logs
Driving near the Brisbane airport and quickly took this photo of a plane taking off, from inside the car.

Hope this qualifies, requirements didn’t specify aeroplane, it stated aircraft.

This afternoon we went down to Hobart Airport to watch the aircraft for a while. We saw an Embraer 190 and Boeing 737-800 take off. A 717 was taxiing to take off as we left.

While staying at Seven Mile Beach for a week or so during our lap of Tasmania, I took the opportunity of finding the GC caches that were nearby, including one in the dunes at the end of the runway into Hobart Airport. It so happened that while I was there, a QF plane was departing so I took some photos of it because it's rare that you can get so close. Now, however, I know I took them not just for the hell of it, but because I could claim a smiley for this locationless ... ... thanks dezzabills.
Hi dezzabills
Was going through some old slides last night and found this photo taken at the Hobart Airport most interesting
Look at the name of the company on the plane in the foreground - as you work at an airport you'll find it very interesting
There is another plane leaving the ground though. Threw in a second pic just 'cos I could
Sainted at 1000 hours
Thanks for this little series of Locationless caches, completed now; enjoyed the experience.
TFTC and cheers

This photo was taken a few years ago with the Penrith RSL Photographic Club outing to the Wings Over Illawarra Air Show at Illawarra Regional Airport at Albion Park, NSW. This was a stunt pilot taking off. TFTC

It was 4:30am and we were heading to the northern end of the runway of Hobart Airport to watch our daughter flying off in a RAAF C-17 Globemaster aircraft on route to the blue ice runway at Wilkins in Antarctica. She works for the Australian Antarctic Division and was taking the 4 hour flight to join the summer research crew at Casey Station. At 5am, on the dot, the mammoth C-17 began to taxi from the tarmac to the southern end of the runway to commence its flight ferrying personnel and heavy cargo south. The frequent flights of the c-17 mean that equipment can be taken in quickly and other equipment returned to Hobart for repair. The turn around time for repairs is usually a couple of weeks compared with the 6 or 12 months when equipment has to be transported in and out by the Auroa Australia. So it was with mixed emotions that we saw the plane take off. Our daughter was chuffed because the pilot and first officer was female and prize cargo included a Haggland snow vehicle painted pink in support of breast cancer awareness. The photos added to the Gallery is a sequence of three showing the start of the takeoff, leaving the runway, and flying directly overhead. Thanks for the cache dezzabills.
I live very close to an airport so I should have been able to get FTFs on this series of locationless and I do a fair bit of travelling as one of my children lives on mainland Australia. I took the required photo but it has taken me a while to put it all together and log this locationless - the plane is actually taking off from Tullermarine in Melbourne and not my "local" -Launceston ! It took me several goes to get ask shot I as happy with. I thought I had to be in the photo which made it rather tricky and not such a good photo.
Photo and coordinates will be added when I have wifi access

Bad photo, but this little Dash-8 was taking off from Brisbane Airport as we arrived from Canberra.
dezzabills thanks for the cache
I watched this plain leaving Hobart.
Where I was standing will soon become part of the extended runway.

I'd spent the day at the Avalon Airshow.
Towards the end of the day the Roulettes put on a display.
This was 3 of them taking off beforehand.

We watched this plane take off while waiting at the plane-spotters area at the end of the runway at Brisbane airport. Watching the planes come and go entertained us all until Mr W's plane arrived.
Thanks for this cache Dezzabills.
