Sydney Airport Spotting Weekends (circa 2000's) - Video Footage and Photos
 

So, a long time ago, before some folks here were even bjorn and prior to movie cameras in your pocket being the norm - videos were put together after the annual spotting weekends.

The question Mr Ed and I have is why are these not on YouTube, if they are please share the links with us!

On the topic of "the golden olden days", who are some of the characters that use to frequent the board that don't do so that much anymore (which is sad :()

A quick story I'll share relates to the Radar Field and a gold coloured Commodore getting very, very bogged which was very, very funny to everyone who wasn't bogged.

There must be a million light hearted moments we've forgotten, do share!

Go.........

We all remember seeing a guy "bogged" in the radar field too. But it had nothing to do with the soft sand. ��

Im sure that Krispy Kreme sure regretted having a drive through lane.....and Constable Plod having to fish Granny out of the Domestic terminal at some ungodly hour....

And Craig, don't forget Bill and Pammy from the USA.....

Oh the stories we could tell.....

Hi Craig,

You can start here for you reminiscing session :-P

I'll try muster up some of the broken links for the videos I posted in the same thread.

* I found the 2004 Spotting Weekend video, but it goes for 50 minutes, will see what I can do, lol.

You're a legend Amsy although I suspect you're hinting that I should use the 'search' function before posting haha!

Haha, funny enough, the search returned these pearlers...
