Thanks for the update Robert, great images. We have had OFJ through Sydney a couple of times now.
|
Thanks Grahame. :) Was the first Hawker 800 to visit to WGA, rather new to their fleet as well.
Not seen this far south too often is TWB based Austrek Air Charter VH-WXO Beechcraft B200 Super King Air. GA at NRA isn't easy to photograph due to the Bellman Hangar and tall cyclone (aka chain-link) fence. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4398/...2228a2a6_b.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4404/...46f7222c_b.jpg Helicorp/Toll Helicopters VH-TJF AW139 called into WGA for fuel. Interestingly it no longer has Ambulance of NSW logos on it, now has ACT Gov and ACT Ambulance Service logos. Would've thought it would have both since it serves ACT and Southern NSW. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4352/...7212471a_b.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4352/...6b223b87_b.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4414/...db0cddab_b.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4345/...3313c17a_b.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4353/...099c3869_b.jpg |
Rare visit by Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia Central Operations (VH-FXJ) Pilatus PC-12/45E at Wagga Wagga Airport

Surprised no one has mentioned the Korean Air 747-8 service which started earlier in the month.
|
Too early for most people? I haven't seen in the metal but have been tracking it regularly (well, at least partly with my 9yo looking for 748s)
|
Sorry, just forgot to post them - First Visit images from 02/09/2017

Here's a couple from me.
HL7631 http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x...pspi39sw5u.jpg This one is the last passenger B747 (possibly ever) to be built. HL7644 http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps6n83romn.jpg |
Cool, thanks for the pics! So nice to see a new 747! A couple of weeks ago was lined up with a QF 747 beside me in HKG - so good to see.
|
Thanks guys! That 0755 departure makes it hard for us lazy people to catch it. May need to drag the young one out this Saturday :)
|
Great photos Grahame and Nigel! Nice to see the 747 living on PA wise! Now just need Qantas to order a few (unlikely with the 787s on order). ;)
VH-SYZ now sporting a new look for CHC's SAR/AME contract with the ADF. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4370/...621a64cf_b.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4352/...92d11a90_b.jpg Very rare visitor!

Thanks Robert, and WOW, I haven't seen a flying Nomad for such a long time - what a great catch.
|
I think Mahindra let XGZ out once in a while, it’s a N24 of course.
https://abpic.co.uk/pictures/view/1571689 LTV has always had interesting aircraft hidden in its hangers. I am a little biased since I first went solo there. |
A quick visit to Williamtown yesterday - Hawks A27-02, A27-14 and Sikorsky S-76 VH-LAI

The project is currently on the back burner. |
Last Nomad I've seen was the one at RAAF Base Wagga, which is a N22B. Hopefully it doesn't end up as scrap.

Thanks Grahame, SXT seems to be a frequent visitor (no doubt for maintenance) and Bell 429 is rather rare, as the don't head west of Canberra too often.
