AS THE AIRPLANE WAS TAKING OFF, A GROUND AGENT OBSERVED THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR OUTBOARD WHEEL SEPARATE FROM THE AXLE. THE FLIGHT CREW RETRACTED THE LANDING GEAR, BUT THE CREW NOTED NO UNUSUAL VIBRATIONS OR NOISES. THE FLIGHT CREW WAS INFORMED OF THE WHEEL SEPARATION BY COMPANY RADIO. THEY CONTINUED TO THE DESTINATION AIRPORT WHERE A FLY-BY CONFIRMED THE WHEEL WAS MISSING. A LANDING WAS MADE WITHOUT INCIDENT.
