Does anyone know where the 787 is planned to park? I was looking to see if i can do some night shots from southern cross drive or the observation deck.

Thanks

787
 

Any info in when the 787 will be in Melbourne would be greatly appreciated.

Don't know exactly Alexander, but I know that one of the gates (Nigel might be able to tell us) on the end of terminal 3 (QF domestic) were retrofited a while back to accommodate the 787. Now if they plan to test those bridges out while it's here you maybe able to get a shot from obs deck. so I hope this helps you out a bit...

Thanks Jaryd!

Ryan info is in that post that Stefan put up "17th it will be in Melbs"... I hope they don't put QF or JQ decals on it I wanna see original house colours....

Im pretty sure it is either gate 7 or 8 at Qantas but I stand corrected if I am wrong.

I think your right matt, I can only remember it as the one next to the gate that QF 581/82 sits when that flight is being flown by a 744....

What gates in MEL can accomodate an 787, I would assume Gate 11, 21 and 23.

Bay 99 for arrival & departure otherwise qf jet-base.

Air New Zealand have a live stream of 787 arrival into AKL later this morning.
