On finals for Runway 16 Right this morning.

Great capture Lee!

So... is she leaving tomorrow? I'll need to put in a leave request if so :P

Dan

I believe 0900 .... hopefully it won't be a wet departure... :)

Just as I go back to school something good comes in. :mad:
Where is she currently parked?
cheers.

Over at the GA when I left - I think it will remain there as it's only overnight...

Here's another shot of the approach but further back.....

Il96
 

Nice photos.

The Il96 is a rare beast down in this part of the world.

Was quite exciting to get a cargo one in Adelaide a couple of years ago.

Is it just by chance a US navy C-37 is in at the same time? Conspiracy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

20 years since I've seen one of these 1992 Avalon airshow, Ryan I missed that polet il-96 by 15 mins my flight left prior to that landing....

It's just like that time Indian AF sent there Su-30's to England for exercises with the Typhoon's and USAF RC-135 Cobra ball rocked up just as the exercises began, I wonder why.....
