May aswell note it now,

MH6203 this Tuesday will be the final Southern Air 747-200F visit. Starting next month it will be replaced by MASkargo B744's while the MH6173 will now be operated by their brand new A330-200F.

So this means the end has come for regular classic visitors.

Thats interesting I thought Melbourne was getting the A332F as a part of Malaysian's changing over from the 777 to A333 ops in and out of Melbourne.

Thanks for the info, I really hope they keep sending it,
I'm guessing the thai t7 arrives at 8pm.

Hey Stefan,
I guess I should of not made it sound like it would be definately the last 742F flight to Sydney. I have looked up the MASkargo site and have now seen the promo you are refering to. The promo is interesting however the schedule tends to agree with my info meaning the website sort of contradicted itself there.
The schedule tends to confirm what I have said and I also have been told by a very reliable source MASkargo A330s will be coming to Sydney, though no date was said but the A330F will be coming to Sydney. I have also noticed Southern Air 747 classics operating for MASkargo have been reduced in number. On the other hand that promo does seem newer then my info I've had for around a month so right now it is very confusing.

My previous post can be taken with a grain of salt, but the 742F days are indeed numbered in Sydney and it is a possibility this Tuesday is the last visit therefore I am suggesting spotters should catch it incase it is the last one and they have not yet caught or heard the beauty.

Cheers.

Brad how bout looking on the airport website for the flight numbers...and finding out that way.

I mean it could be last scheduled Southern Air 742 service to Sydney . I was talking about Southern Air/MASkargo not all in general. After they leave any 747 classics visiting will be very rare.

Has anyone checked the schedule?

I'm not the best at reading schedules.

It tells me that every Tuesday in October Sydney will see the A330-200F arrive at 1400.
