5 hour hop to race against a storm.
The winter season doesn’t come without clear skies, it’s a mix of a Russian roulette of good and chaotic weather mixed into one session. Today’s one isn’t different at all, with a really special jet returning to Ho Chi Minh City and with true fashion with every rare jet, the weather decide to turn into a twisted server with a god amount of cape.
Nauru Airlines is the flag carrier of Nauru, although many of their 737s are registered in Australia. This airline ferried a special charter service between Darwin and Ho Chi Minh City flying a 5 hour hop between the northern tip of Australia and here. While the previous arrival last year was shown in great weather, this year it’s different.
With the monsoon season changed up, Ho Chi Minh City expected a torrential storm, not small but large storms with flooding in several areas of the city. Naturally before the 737 arrived on 25R, the winds at the airport turned insanely strong with gusts up to 32kts, which a VJ A321 went around to due to severe winds.
With the 737 racing in for the runway, I captured just a tiny glimpse of the 737 in the most wildest contrast I’ve seen which behind the jet is just rain, heavy rain stretches up to multiple areas. Along with everyone dodging the storm by hunkering down, overall the photo comes out so epic that I really love it.
Still, I would love to do spotting in this wicked weather as it sometimes produces something crazy and beautiful like this.
