lloyd,

Nice shots,

Have you heard anything about SF34 VH-BCP (ex.JA8900) ?

It was added to reg in August.

TIA

Negative Greg but the American company that bought the Saab has it's Australian office here in BNE.I thought it may find it's way to Brissie and i am always looking out for it,however nothing at this stage Sorry!.

Cheers.:)

Thks, lloyd.

I see from your shots that Clives AF is still in residence .

Yes Greg all down the southern end with the 727 and 757 and all the other magic aircraft
parked there including the Dutch F70 and Helvetic etc.

We finally have VH-QQW due in just over a hours time
This is the aircraft that is in the "100 Years England-Australia flight" livery!
It will be it's first visit to YBBN since it was painted in that scheme.

The sky however is horrendous today with smoke.

thks Lloyd,

Keep safe with the fires.

Alliance were going to do a re-enactment of the 100th Anniversary.

Haven't heard anything since the announcement earlier this year.

3 pics today .Some slightly out of focus due to the smoke.Air quality worse than Beijing today i heard on radio.3rd pic was good.

It really was a shocker today.I'd say 3-4km visability.:(

VH-QQW...VH-KBX and Helvetic F100 ..VH-VKQ today at BNE.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/794876...in/dateposted/

5 pics pls use right arrows thanks.

Lloyd - do you see the Queen being used, or just stored due to lackof VIP config charters?

Kent ... Is KBX you are talking about? has done 2-3 flights in the past year including the Pacific and NZ i think??? However not too often.

The most movement it does is being shuttled around the airport.Ha Ha.

Alliance do many charters for the JTB taking Japanese tourists to the Rock and even NZ but never uses VH-KBX so mayby the config is the reason?:)

Yes, KBX of course. Seems a pity, but you'd expect config would be the issue.

How long until she's cannibalised.....

Etihad into BNE this evening is a one off 787-10 flight...A6-BMG.:)

This week we have biz N922JW F900...N933ML G6000..N400J G650...N88999 G450...N360SL CL604...N60XC G6000..F-ONCP C525 plus heaps of Aussie biz including NSQ,VSZ,FMG,ILJ,BMW,ZIY and more.

Along with EVA this is our 2nd international airline to fly the 787-10 to BNE.

Concreting of all the new taxiways was completed on 28Nov19.So both the runway construction and taxiway construction are now complete.

Grooving of the runway as well as lighting and markings will start soon.

Refurbishment of the Northern and central areas of the Domestic Terminal are now half way complete .Quite a few new stores are now open as well as refurbished current stores.A new food court opened in the last few days as well.

Lloyd, Brissie Airport got a write-up AA

And it’s left little seating for passengers at the gate.

Expect to see the remaining 4 JQ Dash8's arrive from NZ over Thursday and Friday

Thanks Greg.:)

Thanks Max and i am hearing that there may be 2 today with TQD being one of them?

Most of the BNE spotters got them when they went to NZ on delivery however still good to see them again.

I believe another NZ ATR72 is not too far away either on delivery.

Very hot up here so not sure if i will go today?

flight radar showing TQD and SBI currently on the way having left Auckland

Correct. TQL and TQM will come over tomorrow.

TQK will be out of paint soon and replaced with one of the other 4.

Apparently 1 Q300 will be scrapped but not sure if it is one of the ex QLink or JQNZ ones.

TQD heading back to AKL?

Looks like low cloud at Norfolk Island pretty much down to the minima at the time.

For those playing at home

TQD has made it it to NLK
TQL is due to depart NLK
TQM is enroute to NLK

VH-SBI yesterday.:)

https://www.flickr.com/photos/794876...in/dateposted/

VH-TQD will head to TSV today for paint.

TQL up to TSV also for paint.

TQK back to BNE today.

Max, are they naming (renaming) these Dash8 after repainting ?

I’m assuming so but not sure what they will be called

TQK went straight to SYD last night.

BNE yesterday had N2FH Sikorsky S-70C helicopter land off of a ship into YBBN and then off to Toowoomba along with a sister helo.

No photos however google it as it in a nice scheme with titles.:)
