It didn't 'miss curfew'. They had taxi clearance before time on the hour so could have departed but were advised by ATC when they were at the B2 holding point that they had to return to the gate due to an 'engineering issue'. The crew didn't seem to be aware that they had a problem.

Not sure of an unidentified a/c with Zimbabwe hexcode which is about to arrive? Could be a miscode so don't want to get too excited!;) Last contact at 2300'

A unidentified C-130J had just arrived in Canberra I was just told Peter, this could be it maybe...

Doubt it Jaryd, checked back and lost it 1600' so must be either SYD or Richmond.

The C-130 was very low over my house (not anywhere near an approach point) at about 1600.

Anyone know why his mornings SQ departure was a 7773
and the 12pm one was the A380?
thanks

Standard opperational changed Brad.

Oh right cheers for that Tim.

Sighted B763 VH-OGG overhead a short time ago and checking Acars it is operating QF6023 to Singapore.
OGF still at the Jet base yesterday hasn't flown since 1st Sept and was slated as the next B767 to leave the fleet.

VH-OGG
 

Hi Peter Is OGG leaving the fleet? Was OGG in the standard QF livery when you sighted her? Thank you.

I only saw the underside Fabian, no idea why it's going to Singapore, others in the 'know' may be able to help. Pretty sure OGG was going soon with a few others from memory.

there was an article recently stating ATSG has purchased their fifth Qantas 767 for freighter conversion.

Today i saw that VH-OGF had all titles removed.
Is it the next 767 to get retired?

Here is a photo I took of OGF yesterday. :( poor plane.

QF6023
 

VH-OGG has arrived in SIN. She was in full classic QF livery.

I think we may see OGG back sometime soon...


Does anyone know when OGF is leaving? I would like to catch a shot of an QF aircraft departing with blanked out titles.

It'll have to get the new rego before departing wont it?
like the other one which got the american rego....
