i would like to share a few shots that i took during a brief stop near the airport on the way to seaside.today i realise that the most amazing view is from the beach- where you suddenly hear the engine noise and at the same time the aircraft appears t behind a small hill/bushes on its take off.today i was lucky to witness from the beach side the following taking off:

air mauritius atr, a330-200 and a340( 3b-nbd was particularly busy taking off to reunion & then to madagascar:
