Air Asia X is on Planeplotter with 'No Reg' so could be 9M-XXL as per Stefan's post last month (ex Dragonair)!

9M-XXI D70222 01/06/2013 08:56 A-330-343X (1411) 2013 - AirAsia X - Kuala Lumpur-Sydney

Delivered on 23/04/2013

That's interesting Grahame, 9M-XXI was in yesterday with hexcode 750298 but today it is 750299 hence my assumption. Will try and eyeball it when it leaves.

Passing over you about now Peter. Maybe too far to the north.

Cheers,

Noel

Something a bit different from China Southern was this evening with B-6515 opperating CZ301/302. This aircraft is fitted with P&W engines (unlike the usual RR powered A332s we usually see). This aircraft is also in a different configuration to those that usually opperate the service.

A6-EEG EK0413 01/06/2013 18:29 Emirates A380-861 Auckland-Sydney-Dubai

Morning all,

Brand new Etihad B777-300ER A6-ETO is making its 1st visit tonight operating EY454/455. This aircraft was delivered on Friday, this is its 1st revenue service. http://flightaware.com/live/flight/A6ETO

Yep it tracked to Richmond whereas the previous day it was a Katoomba track.

DQ-FJU is operating a delayed FJ910/911 service today (3/6/13) arriving at 2:15pm! Also, US Navy C-130T due into SYD from Pago Pago at 4pm! Rego is 16-5350

Etihad Crystal Cargo 777-F A6-DDB is operating the first scheduled service of Etihad Cargo to Sydney.

It should arrive around 10:20am tomorrow morning if it runs on schedule.

Thanks for the info Jayden. I got my first photo of Fiji Airways. I just missed out on the C130 as they switched runways. I could have pulled over on Qantas drive and got a top shot of the herc but the better part of me obeyed the rules. If it was a Dc8 or something like that maybe :rolleyes:.

BTW anyone know when the herc takes off?

Evening all,

Emirates Airlines B777-300ER A6-ENJ appears to be operating EK418 tomorrow. Currently operating a delayed DXB-BKK leg. If it continues down to Sydney it will be its 1st visit. http://flightaware.com/live/flight/A6ENJ

Fiji Airways 737-800 DQ-FJG due today at 11:20am operating FJ911/910.

This is the first visit of a Fiji Airways liveried 737 to Sydney.

VH-VFN is up & away on the inaugural JQ660/661 to AYQ and return!

165350 US Herc is being towed onto Golf for engine start and departure as 'Convoy 3864'.

Off topic I know, however does a different aircraft ever operate the BKK - SYD leg?

Also seems the ENJ oped into BNE the day before, was this its first flight to Australia?

Cheers

M

By the looks of it, it sure was! :)

Evening all,

JAL are scheduled to operate B777-300ER's to Sydney on Friday. http://flightaware.com/live/flight/J...050Z/RJAA/YSSY

Looking at JAL'a schedule it is hard to tell how long the B77W's will be operating for.

looks like a change. Flight will now be operate by B777-200ER.

Qantas 737-800 VH-XZG is due into Sydney tomorrow night on delivery at around 1735 as QF6024. It should continue on to Melbourne at 1835.

This is supposedly Qantas' 100th Boeing 737 and 250th Boeing aircraft.

I don't recall any 737's coming through Sydney on delivery in a while.

Actually XZF was officially the 100th 737 - but it didn't tie in with the JQ 787 being put together.

It is going to SYD first to drop off some of the media on board.

Cheers Sarah.

I disagree with the count as they have included 12 x DC-9's flown by TAA/Australian and not made by Boeing. Here is the AA story:

http://australianaviation.com.au/201...eing-aircraft/

I suppose QF has a create a story somehow to get some positive press.

If they waited until the remaining 738 are delivered & a couple of 787s it would be next year.

It is pretty unique for a number of a type to reach 100 and then to have the total also at a milestone number. If they were separate, it would have been a non-event.

QF didn't make the story - it is Boeing who made the count so it is there decision.

Etihad Crystal Cargo 777-F A6-DDC looks to be making it's first visit this morning operating EY960/961.

This one is brand new having being delivered just under a month ago.

Looks to be due around 5pm now. Currently west of DPS at FL370.

Bad weather last night in PVG so I believe this is the first time B-5902 is operating to Sydney as MU561/562.

As quoted in the other thread regarding the Asiana A330's to operate Monday and Tuesday, HL8259 will be operating the OZ601/602 on its second visit to Sydney.

Evening all,

China Southern A330-200 B-6528 is operating CZ352/326 today. This aircraft is in Skyteam colours. This appears to be its 1st visit in daylight hours to Sydney. All previous visits by this aircraft to Sydney have been on the evening flight CZ301/302.

Airwork B737-300 ZK-FXT was in last night for Toll as TFR21. First visit to SYD according to my SBS.

Yes Peter, ZK-FXT arrived BNE on 29 May as AWK737 and has done 3-4 flights for Pacific Air Express out of BNE.Last night was the first domestic freight flight.It replaced ZK-TLE which departed BNE for AKL also as AWK737 on the 29th May.

BAe 146-300 VH-NJF is taxing for departure to Adelaide making a rare daytime appearance.

Also G-VGAS is operating tomorrows VS200/201 after a recent repaint into the new scheme. This will be its second second visit in the new livery.

Air New Zealand Airbus A320 ZK-OJC visited Sydney today for the first time in the revised scheme operating NZ887 CHC-SYD. She is due back in again this afternoon after operating the return from NLK.

Etihad Cargo 77F A6-DDA will make it's first visit tomorrow arriving at this stage on-time at 1020.
