Peter Smith 1 Report post Posted January 4, 2006 (edited) Pieter, I drive the Rio quite a lot...takes a while though ICAO for Gingin is YGIG, so its common here just to call it GIG (maybe its faint hope!) Sandeep, I thought showing you Jesus (carrying a cross) in GIG was enough! Edited January 4, 2006 by Liam Gibb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peter Smith 1 Report post Posted January 7, 2006 (edited) Heres some more... ZK-NCL inbound as "New Zuland One Sivin Sux" VH-NJLong...its a BAe 146-300 Metro III VH-TFQ A330-343E B-LAB, leaving late as "Cathay 170" After being told by ATC (who were told by GA) to return to the gate to collect 1 more bag, "Indonesia 729" was on her way. 734 PK-GZK But the one I have been meaning to shoot for weeks, the weekly Thomsonfly 762 charter from Gatwick. Here 767-204ER G-BRIG as "Brittania 502 Bravo" gets airborne for Singapore, Abu Dhabi and London... CS-TMT is back this arvo, so i'll attempt to get some of her in better wx...

Peter Smith 1 Report post Posted January 7, 2006 Well, Aussie 002 decided on landing rwy24! BAH!!! Sorry, these are bad, but all I have... (Sandeep, et al you should have heard Les when he accepted 24!! ) "Qantas 63 Heavy" to Johburg, didn't quite get away and looks like it won't for a while yet. Fuel something problem (apologies for the reflection). Last time I flew -EBY panels fell from the roof. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peter Smith 1 Report post Posted January 8, 2006 Norman, here's 3 of the 4 diff types of (essentially) King Air (one's a Queen Air if ur picky) that we have in PER.... Old: New: Tall (Beech 1900D): (sorry best I could do given its choice of parking). The long bird, Beech 1900D VH-FWA was hidden next to her. Will attempt at a later date, as with the other King Airs based on the field, however they were all out of the way today! Oh and won't forget the RFDS birds down at JAD. Some pics from today: A330-321 HS-TEG arriving as "Thai 9999999997" from BKK Dash 8-202 MPA VH-ZZB, arrived as "Coastwatch 469" 717-200 VH-NXG 717-200 VH-IMD, yet to enter service, but missing a vital team member...

Peter Smith 1 Report post Posted January 8, 2006 (edited) Thanks Pieter. #1 VH-XAE is an absolute truck! It consistently goes u/s, has a pink beacon and boasts one of the most distinct sounds i've heard. Goes most nights to Port Hedland with the early edition of the daily paper and some perishable products. FYI that -MPJ's fin jutting up amongst the 712's, the 73H and the heat haze.
