Shot last Sunday at the runway of SSR airport…
But, before that, while going to the airport, I saw this. A sugarcane truck overturned at a roundabout. The Jin Fei roundabout on the M1 is another one where a similar disaster is waiting to happen…
Back to the airport, it’s easy to get access to the runway by turning left at the Plaine Magnien roundabout.
& you’ll get an unrestricted view of the runway.
The usual signs & warnings. Glad I’m no a trepasser, just a camera-owner.
Apparently, I wasn’t the only one looking for flying machines. Two of Air Mauritius’ planes could be seen in the hangar.
Fortunately, I didn’t have to wait too long before a plane arrived…
An Emirates airline Boeing 777-300ER.
Two minutes later, another plane was already taxiing on the runway for take-off. Due to the runway being closed for repairs at night, traffic is very busy during the day.
A Condor airline Boeing 767-330ER, tail number D-ABUD.
Preparing for take-off…
… & it’s gone.
Here’s the video of the take-off.

On the first photo there is a small cage before the Condor. Is it used to keep the condor chicks just after hatching?
Indeed, it took me a while before I realised it's no cage, but a bird trap, to keep them off the runway. :)
