Air France Boeing 777-300ER F-GSQS

Backtracking runway 12 and making 180° on the turning pad, then taking off. Very great view of this widebody... Sorry for the wind noise.

well im guessing takeoff were from the other side...due to wind factors etc. (e.g. better tail wind), and there is no connecting taxiway at the end he made the 180, so they have to taxi the entire runway and turn around. most small airports are like that.

why did he have to do a 180?

c'est qu'une immatriculation d'avion banale je sais mais quand on l'a voit après sur le net sa fait tout bizarr!
