kianhong 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2010 Thanks guys! As much as I want you to believe that SYD is all sunny n blue sky, we had typical gloomy wintery weather more than 1/2 the time. Nevertheless, we had some really good catches. Pieter : SYD mound is basically beside the new control tower. Enter via Rose Smith Road. 29 MAY 2010 Korean Air B777-200ER HL7715 RAAF B737-700 BBJ A36-001 Highlight of the day! Qantas Wunala Dreaming with sunlight and water sprays! B747-400ER VH-OEJ I was lucky to see Wunala 3 days in a row during my stay in SYD. Here's another shot with some condensation. Philippines B777-300ER RP-C7776. Love the wing flex. During wet days like these, one get to see some prop tip vortices as well. Qantas Link Dash-8 Q400 VH-QOM Air Austral B777-200ER F-OMAY Qantas 75th B737, ZK-ZQA. Operate by Jet Connection on behalf of Qantas. Another special caught on that rainy day. Etihad 'F1' A340-600 A6-EHJ. More water sprays by this 3-holer. UPS MD-11F N277UP Thanks for viewing.
