Nice touch!

I was out @ the Acacia Street spotting area early this morning to see OEG takeoff

Here is the video of her rocketing up of RWY01

Enjoy! :)

Thanks for sharing the video.
Perhaps a nice piece of history there, good to have record of the occasion.

QF8 inaugural A380 from Dallas arrived this morning to a water cannon salute from the ARFF.

Some pics from my QF8 experience.

Flew up to BNE on QF556 the previous night and hung out around the airport until morning. Decided to indulge and experience Business class for the first time and was very impressed, albeit for a short time.

Highlight was heading up to the flight deck at the end of the trip. Awesome morning for an avgeek :)

Nothing high quality as these are either from my phone or screencaptured from the video camera. But it was good to be there.

Inaugural DFW-SYD was 16 hours 34 minutes :eek:

Hi All,

Anyone know what Fuel was loaded at DFW and what was left over, once it landed and Parked?

Was it close to entering that Reserve Fuel stage?

Stuart

I'll hazard a guess that not one more drop would have fitted in ;)

Cheers

QF7 is currently returning to Sydney, turned back about 5 hours after departure, aircraft is OQL.

According to the " Qantas Source " site it had a fuel pump issue and special dispensation was granted for a after 11pm arrival back at SYD ..
