Greg Wood 3 Report post Posted July 18, 2011 Hi All, Here's a selection from Perth to drool over, some taken last month & some as recent as yesterday. The 747-438 VH-OJL was certainly the highlight yesterday & to achieve maximum results you needed to be under the approach, for me personally you just had to nail it landing!... such a rare & once in a life time opportunity to photograph such an aircraft under these circumstances. Lets start the pictures! Thanks for viewing. GW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ignatius 4 Report post Posted July 19, 2011 Greg, those were all awesome pictures. Does our airline still frequenting Perth as a schedule flight or a chartered one? And off course OJL is a headturner. It's just soo rare that I can't believe that it was taken in Perth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peter Smith 1 Report post Posted July 19, 2011 Just realized all of their B744s were christened "Longreach". Correct, all the 747's bare the name of QF's birthplace, plus the name of an Australian city or town.
