What are those nosetrils ?? Moments after the DC-8 took off, another freighter arrived from Melbourne.. MH6202 came in to pick up some cargo. Arrgh..that APU blocking my view Covered by the frost. Departed to Singapore early this morning. Shot this Brazillian nose last weekend from the domestic side.

This aircraft arrived Perth from Melbourne on June 19 and departed to Dubai yesterday morning. From Dubai, the aircraft will fly back to Airbus at Toulouse to get its rear pressure bulkhead and the other damages fixed. The ferry flight is unpressurized.

Mike Barlow 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 Thanks to Greg for letting me know about this site! Some nice pics out there, so I thought I'd add a few of mine just to check the process and see how they look. VH-VBZ Virgin Blue Boeing 737-700 coming in low over Abernethy Road, Kewdale, for a runway 03 landing with fantastic morning light, 9 May 2009. VH-NXM Qantas Link Boeing 717, also over Abernethy Road, Kewdale on 9 May 2009. 9V-SFP Singapore Airlines Cargo 747-400F. This was the main attraction of the day! I should have stayed on the other side of the approach though as this was the best I could get amongst buildings and power cables. 9 May 2009. VH-ZPM Pacific Blue Embraer 190 coming in for runway 21 over Kalamunda Road, 6 June 2009. HS-TEE Thai Airways Airbus A330-300 on short finals for runway 21 on June 14.

Ian Moy 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2009 Hi, Perth experienced stormy weather this weekend, and today most of the arrivals and departures were on Rwy 24. Here's proof that Perth is not always blessed with blue skies. Springbok 280 (ZS-SLE) lands Rwy 24. Immediately followed by 'Reach 214' USAF C-17 00-00185 from Townsville, Queensland. Thai 997 'Royal Barge' HS-TEK. A couple of Rwy 24 departures. SQ226 Departs after a passing rain shower. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
