Raj Changela 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2006 My dream came ture... it was just pure joy to catch her each time she came home Here is one of her pose... (as she stood there good 2 minutes for ATC clearence to head to terminal) One of the surprise while I was there.... believe this was a charter flight that carried Australian troops. (notice left gear is off first as she rotates!) It is 07:14am as this KIWI BUS departs for home after an overnight stay in Sydney... first of the many NZ flights for the day to follow. Barton Park is indeed a great place to visit.... excellent airport views and great for 07/25 ops. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony 1 Report post Posted October 12, 2006 Raj, Sweet~ Where did you make that shot of VXB and OJI from? Looks like the construction site to me (that's near the emergency services gathering point). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raj Changela 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2006 Yup, thats the radar field site which was under custruction when I visit last year. OJI was taken from the Tower field area, just in front of the gate. (with a ladder) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(with a ladder) Yeah, recognise those shots cuz I went there some time earlier in the year with 2 spotters on the Sydney Board. Chased away by the construction site worker. OJI's location does look significantly different - and now I know. I usually stand on the mount since I have no ladder with me, but I guess if I could do it between fence holes it would be a great angle! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raj Changela 0 Report post Posted October 13, 2006 Since I rented the car for 10 days, first thing I did on day one was to visit local Home Depot store and get me a nice ladder And on last day gave it away to local spotter who was very nice help.

Tony 1 Report post Posted October 20, 2006 Quickly... Looney Tunes spotted taking a rest at the international terminal. VS, SQ and TG at the standoff bay. A330 wingspan. Taking off 34L. Compare wingspan of the A330 vs length of the T7. Emirates GEAR UP. China Airlines. Looks sad. Let's look for a parking... To be continued... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted October 20, 2006 Compare wingspan of the A330 vs length of the T7. Tony, EK in the picture is a 340, not a 777 Although, not linked to any pictures, I would like to share this with you guys: October 19, 2006 Singapore Airlines said it has put one of its Boeing 747-400s out of service after the aircraft lost a bolt while flying over Sydney on its way to the city-state on Wednesday. The 15 cm (5.9 inches) long bolt hit the roof of a house in Sydney with a loud bang, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported. "The aircraft involved will undergo a wide-ranging inspection before returning to service," Singapore Air said in a statement. The statement said the airline was treating the incident "very seriously". But added that the dislodging of the bolt, from the aircraft's "leading edge flaps", had not compromised the safety or performance of the flight SQ220. The airline said it was in touch with the aircraft manufacturer, Boeing, to identify the possible causes of the incident. Singapore Air said it was "cooperating closely" with an investigation launched by the Australian Transportation Safety Bureau and would also deal with any issues arising from damage to property caused by the incident.
