A rare sight in Southern California these days. I was lucky to catch this departure of N42FL viewed from the Lyon Air Museum at Orange County John Wayne airport. The Smoke and thundering SPEY engines bring back memories from the glory days of aviation. Aircraft data is as follows: Enjoy!

Engines: ROLLS-ROYC SPEY MK 511SR (Turbo-jet)
SN: 416
Reg: N42FL
