Spotting @ SYD

Recommended Posts

The Air China is a special one, but in this case I am more interested in the aircraft behind it!! What is it? B762F or B752F?

 

Manage to dig out another photo, yes it's a B762

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.
