At about 200', the main gear doors have just opened in sequence for gear retraction. B767 is trailing a nice visible wingtip VORTEX due to high humidity.

"Vortex". Nice shot.

Vortices and vortice are both used in NASA published studies along with vortex, but what do they know? Engineers are sometimes not the best source for grammar or spelling. I fixed it for you.
Thanks for the correction.

What is take off speed? What is weight full loaded with cargo, passengers, and fuel? LOL always been curious. I used to fly 1/4 Scale RC airplanes and love aviation, cant wait for my boy to be old enough to go flying with dad. Need some one trustworthy to hold back a 1/4 scale me109 with a 75cc engine (magneto ignition) during startup! :) Lust love the thrust on take off, of the full size jets.

Holy crap! I just looked on line and it says a 767 max take off weight is 395,000 pounds. WOW. How much of your runs include cargo other than passengers baggage? That sucker hauls a big load!
