The Worlds Most Isolated City

[kianhong 0]

I was accompanied by big Indian Bro and we went to the domestic side in his 'spinning propeller'. hehehe... very comfy ride for spotting.

Thanks again Liam.

 

Hehehe... after a while, I guess their RT is not too bad.

 

Here comes 'Vomit Comet' in superb light.

 

Then something that we don't see every day in PER - QF B744 from Sydney.

 

Clear for take-off! B743 classic operating as QF 71 to SIN city.

 

Immediately after QF71 was SQ226 to SIN city also. Seen here lining up for RWY 21.

 

Lepas tu, Garuda PK-GEE with Visit Indonesia 2008 sticker. Nice !

 

I find the slogan at the bottom to be amusing.

 

Oh btw, at one time, there were three B747 and three B777 at Perth airport. What a scene!

 

Enjoy! Thanks for viewing.

Yes it was an excellent day KH!

 

Beautiful shots and great company - albeit for a short time - but still some great catches!

 

TK, how you been? Yeah the Kiwi niuzullin trup-el siven was quite easy to comprehend - more so than the Indonesia 726

 

KH, where is your pic of SQF?????

Beautiful Shots KH !!

 

Aiya..I need better lense for spotting..

Not a hell of a lot to photograph (its ANZAC Day today, so less domestic traffic), except G-V VH-CCC again

not many interesting cars at the Motor show compared to last year. No Porch, Merc,BMW even car 'ah moi'..

Only Audi R8, self parking Lexus and the new Holden Coupe60 drew the crowd's attention..

KL is bigger and better!!

MIR - Thanks. Hmm... you were on the international terminal barbecue park? BTW, it's not nice to photograph from International side in the afternoon - all back lit!!!

 

Iggy - Yeah, still some nice crisp sunny days between those crappy frontal weather. Temps around 15-25C. So bila you mau datang? (So when are you coming over?)

 

My share from the fine Anzac Day afternoon. Enjoy!

Hey Pieter,

 

The dutch birds are becoming MORE common down here Perth is becoming a major F100 Centre!!! Not to mention F50 - Just off the top of my head, I don't recall there being so many F50's anywhere else in Australia...... go the mining boom!

[kianhong 0]

Yeap... Dutch birds are invading YPPH.

 

And these two Network birds were delivered from Pieter Land !

 

VH-NHO - Ex Air Berlin D-AGPJ.

 

VH-NHP - Ex Air Berlin D-AGPS.

 

 

In a non-related photo, a Global Express - N888GX!

Enjoy!

Was 'hunting' for wombat at YPPH this late afternoon.

 

Instead of wombat, I caught this blue Virgin Blue.

 

QF A330 departing rwy 21. I couldn't find anything about this flight.

 

Finally, Wombat 60 - DHC-4 Caribou only appeared after the sun set. ATA - 1800hr

Sorry bout the image quality.

The mound is not as easily accessible as before. It's now surrounded by constructions due to the rapid expansion of Perth Airport. You will need to walk very far around the constructions to get to the mound. Not advisable.

 

The secret of my shots is steps ladder. My newly acquired accessory.

[Ignatius 4]
