Video: A full payload Virgin Atlantic Airbus A340-300 takes off RWY09R at Heathrow by the 27L threshold for San Francisco (KSFO), with a loud roar of the CFM engines as it passed not far over my head, then an Etihad Airways Boeing 777-300ER departs for Abu Dhabi Intl (OMAA), with a nice loud roar of the GE90 engines. Operations at Heathrow that day were at runway 09L and 09R due to easterly winds. Wind approx. 60 at 10 knots at the time. Unfortunately the A340-300 Virgin Atlantic is no longer in service as of 09/04/15 :(

Camera: Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS6 (there will be an upgrade once I can afford it and a good tripod). My apologies for any disorientation with shaky footage. It was cold on this day.
