GP7270 POWER! Qatar Airways Airbus A380 Powerful Takeoff and Landing - QR6 London Heathrow to Doha

A glorious morning departure out of Heathrow, with plenty of Autumn light shining onto the inlets of these Engine Alliance GP7000s as they power us towards Doha. Turn your volume up to hear the thrust increase through the climbing turn right after takeoff!
Just over 6 hours later, we make our final approach over the Persian Gulf and touchdown at #HIAQatar. One final roar from the GP7000s as reverse thrust is engaged, bringing the journey to a close!
