Nice shots there Mike. I was at the F1 Grand Prix also. Bought myself a ferrari visor cap. First F1 match and my first F1 souvenier. :yahoo:

The fighter jet was splendid. The last vertical pull up was so good. Thanks for the uploadings of photo.

Thanks Eric and Pieter, yes the RAAF still operates the Caribou! Nothing else comes close to the old girl in terms of STOL ability, although they're getting very long in the tooth.

 

Simon, tak ada unfortunately, 400mm prime and 747 flying low just doesn't go. Can't squeeze the whole plane in the frame! :(

Hmm, this threads been quiet for some time...

 

My folks flew down from SIN to MEL this morning for a visit, and naturally I took the opportunity to get in some spotting while waiting for them to clear Customs. Having declared a boycott (I'm not alone!) of the airport's ridiculous short-term parking charges, I decided to do a bout of spotting while waiting although I did not expect anything out of the ordinary, until this turned up:

RAAF BBJ A36-001

 

Glad that the skies were clear and blue (despite being a little cold) after a horrendous two weeks of grey gloom over here.

TK...weather was visually appealing but that's about it. Temperature was 2 deg C overnight and 5-7 deg C when the photo was taken. I had to hide in my car and pop up for shots only when the birds were in range! :blink:

Yeah ... nice weather there!

 

I caught the sister ship A36-002 at PER at about 2 weeks ago. Nice looking bird.

The weather returned to typical Melbourne for the most part since I caught the RAAF BBJ. Today being the Queen's Birthday holiday here in Victoria, I took the opportunity to do a bit of sporting and was rewarded with Jetstar's SeaWorld A320, among others...

VH-YID wears "Virgin Samoa" titles as well

 

 

Thanks Peter. How many aircraft does Virgin Samoa has so far?

 

I caught ZK-PBF from Wellington to Auckland in 2008 of what supposed to be a Pacific Blue flight with the 737-8FE
