I love the classics, have no idea how, but I will have to get down to the airport before they leave...

Might take Weds morning off...

Thanks for the pics Blake.

Don't make it worse for us who can't get out there...

15 - 20 July Morris.

We can expect all sorts of charters I would expect if they get the numbers they are talking about.

Been asked already but...does anyone know what time the 2 NWAs leave? I have to go to the airport on 10/04 anyway so it would be great to get some departure shots.:)

Mark, you're right, I got some inaccurate info from a friend, I went to the official site and confirmed the dates you quoted.

Michael Morrison 7th April 2008 07:10 PM
Thanks for the pics Blake.... We are spoilt by having the new livery and the old livery in town

Ray venn 7th April 2008 07:25 PM
Was on board the two NWA 742s today, Not what I'm used to in age! and I thought the 767 was old!

They both have a few minor problems that the engineers were ironing out this morning. Departure is on Thursday I believe.

Brenden S 7th April 2008 07:38 PM
Wednesday is when they depart, they came from BKK and are heading back to BKK. Info is someone who was on location

matthew mcdonald 7th April 2008 08:04 PM

Sarah C 8th April 2008 04:40 PM

Sarah C 10th April 2008 01:37 PM
The one with the old livery just took off - amazing sight! All the black smoke trailing behind.......you can't mistake the 200!

I wonder why they are delayed 24 hours?

Nigel C 10th April 2008 02:48 PM
I don't believe they are delayed...they have been scheduled for this date for a while now:confused:

no delay at all, Brenden's info was 100% incorrect.

phil.l 10th April 2008 02:54 PM
my mistake it should be ORIENT THAI not thai orient

Saw her on approach for Runway 07 at Padstow Heights this afternoon. It was a pleasant surprise :)

Andrew McLaughlin 11th April 2008 10:33 AM
Here she is on short finals over the Cooks River.

Plus I've attached pics of the two NW 742s departing too.
