I like to thank Nigel for the additional post and Stefan for the follow up. Was a buzz to see a classic back in Sydney. I still had a smile on my face even when i went shopping with the Mrs, I never smile when I shop with the Mrs:p.

One thing I have to say, it was so quiet. Might be a little louder on take off.

Tony G, you da man! Top work getting shots of the classics in Sydney.

Seems today was a good day for some exotic metal, DC-8, the Classic Jumbo, and an A318 from Cairns. Now I regret not heading out today in lieu of.... housework :confused:

And you thought I was joking....

got a video of it flying over turramurra so if anybody is intrested i will upload it

Was meant to depart at 0600, but that didn't happen. I think they're waiting for a northerly wind so they can take off on 34L and wake Albanese up.

It'll be going to Perth initially.

It's flight number is MAG 213 estimated time of departure to Perth is 1001.

What runway is it likely to depart from?

Probably 16R...that's if the crew don't run out of hours in the meantime...

For probably the last DC-8 operation to Sydney, it's certainly making it a comical one to remember. :rolleyes:

Should be away shortly.

Planned Sydney-Perth-Mauritius.

Regards.

Nice shot taking off Chris, considering the down pour. Funny enough the rain stopped soon after it had gone:rolleyes:
