Peter Smith 1 Report post Posted March 22, 2006 (edited) Had some bloody dismal weather today in PER, and to think it was bloody hot yesterday! Oh well, didn't stop 3 of us heading out into the rain 737-476 VH-TJT "Kingfisher" returning from Broome as "Qantas 1073" LeeCH, "Singapore 223" operated this afternoon by 777-212ER 9V-SRP Emb-120 VH-NIF (Operated for NIFty Mines) sites patiently next to VH-NHA and -TWZ. E120 VH-TLZ was in the hangar behind, but unfortunately VH-NHZ which entered service only yesterday was on the opposite ramp Pieter, saving the best till last. Fokker 100 VH-FNJ returning from a circular service routing Perth - Karratha - Port Hedland - Perth Edited March 22, 2006 by Liam Gibb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted March 22, 2006 Bet the weather was real showery with gusty winds ? KLC only use the speedbrakes in these conditions (> 21 knots of winds); of another note: AB (D-AGPK) was using the speedbrakes on- and off a few times during the descent into CDG last sunday-morning - it's like throwing an anchor into the sea / you could really feel the reduction in speed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peter Smith 1 Report post Posted March 23, 2006 Bet the weather was real showery with gusty winds ? Spot on. This way they can remain fast down final, as in a strong wind, the slower you are the more vulnerable you are to the winds power. Perth is losing all scheduled 747-400's this coming weekend. However in its place is domestic 743's!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
