A departing Cessna citation plane was pulling onto the runway to take off.

Boeing has offered striking machinists a 35% pay rise over four years in a new contract proposal they hope will end a month-long strike. About 33,000 unionised workers, mostly in Seattle, will vote on Wednesday whether to accept the offer from the aviation giant. They have been on strike since 14 September, halting production of the firm's 737 MAX and its 767 and 777 planes. The company's bottom line has been so hurt that it announced earlier this week it was seeking an addition $35bn in funding.
