KC-390 Overnight Stay

After a sunset arrival yesterday, it was nice to catch up with the KC-390 again in some warm sunlight.

Departure was scheduled for 1000L, however they were running a little late and departed at 1036L for Darwin. Takeoff distance was to be 2000m, but it was more like 1600m, with a fairly flat climb out.

The KC-390 is powered by 2 x IAE V2500-E5 turbofans, has a max payload of 23.6t, with 23t of fuel, standard inflight refueling capability, and can act as a re-fueler itself. There is still test equipment on board this aircraft, along with 20 seats and six stretchers (spare tyres are in the rear).
