[VIDEO] Virgin Atlantic Airbus A340-313X G-VAIR "Maiden Tokyo" Takeoff in Manila (MNL/RPLL)


Spotter's luck! G-VAIR takes off in Manila after maintenance work at Lufthansa Technik Philippines (LTP). This ferry flight headed straight to London Heathrow (LHR). Quite a smokey takeoff when going full power...
