We waited outside for her departure, only a 20 minute turn around, she departed on time
TQS taxiing out to RWY03
Off to Lord Howe Island!
I would love to go to Lord Howe Island one day, looks amazing! Will see TQS later in the day
After TQS departed we got lunch at the small café at the airport. Got a burger which was very nice and a coke. After lunch I wanted to have a wonder around the car park and get some photos inside and outside of the terminal.
A NSW Air Ambulance plane that landed while we were there
Arrivals area at the terminal, which offers a great view of the apron
Outside the terminal
Some GA planes parked against the fence

After I had all the photos I wanted it was 1225 and our ATR72 that would take us to Sydney was about to land, so we went to the arrivals area. I knew it was FVH as I went on balus on my phone
Was hoping to get the first ATR72 in the Virgin fleet. Saw her in Bundaberg in August and went inside her in the school holidays for the evacuation demo
FVH arrives from Brisbane
Four Mile Beach!
So after photographing her arrival we went through security and into the very nice departure lounge.
