A real work-horse that looks as if it has been ridden hard and put away wet! Outbound after being loaded up with freight (Photo ID: 535200) and here back-tracking for departure off the roller-coaster runway at CYPL. I straightened this photo on a microwave tower in the background so the slope is not an editing error. The official gradient is 0.81%, but this portion is over three times that. The 748 disappeared over the crest of the hill then came thundering back a few minutes later with the Dart engines howling - very impressive.
