Boeing 737-800 (VH-VYC)

Qantas flight QF740 to Sydney departing on Rw 23.

A heavy rain shower had crossed the field and in brief burst of sunlight an impressive but brief rainbow formed. The rainbow was at its most intense just as this was departing. Two minutes later, a Qantaslink E190 departed and the intensity of the rainbow had begun to wane and seven minutes later a REX B738 departed but the rainbow had all but faded out.

Fantastic shot Gavin - well timed with the rainbow!

where little blue birds fly ...

Thanks Darryl. Just set the camera to max fps and while all were good, about three were just what I was hoping for.

Unsurpassed Awesome!!

Thanks Gary. As you know, these can easily be missed so to get one and it's appreciated by others is the icing on the cake.

Nice catch, Gavin!

Thank you Greg.
