G650 Heading Out

My first trip to my new spot at Boeing Field, as described in this blog post, resulted in a fair bit of activity.  Not long after I got there, I saw a Gulfstream G650 taxiing from the south end of the ramp towards the departure runway.  This location gave a few spots where the jet was clear of buildings and you could get a shot.  It ended up holding at the threshold for quite a while as other movements came and went.

Once it got clearance, it made a spiritedly takeoff.  Long range bizjets are rarely making use of their full capabilities so, when they are lightly loaded, they are off in quick time.  This was the case for the G650 and I got some shots of it rotating and climbing away.  Not a bad start for this spot.
