[IAE V2500 BUZZSAW] Vietnam Airlines Airbus A321-231 Takeoff from Tân Sơn Nhất International Airport

Date recorded: 20th December 2022
Connecting off VN50 from Heathrow onto VN677 for Kuala Lumpur. A fairly empty load in the Business cabin with just four passengers including myself, while Economy was also sparsely populated. This afforded a rather short takeoff roll and steep climb, providing some lovely aerial views of Ho Chi Minh City. Just over 90 minutes to KL, with the typical 32L approach over the palm trees welcoming me home.
