On the day I was really sick. A really bad cold that wouldn’t leave me alone, so I just spent the next 2 hours sitting down watching the various movements. VH-YVA departed to Cairns and VUY arrived from Denpasar.
At about 10:30 I decided that I would walk around to Loop Road. Spent most of the day spotting. A few nice surprises throughout the day!
164997 was the first surprise and it was a good one!
The always amazing VH-VBY. I will be seeing more of her later in the day!
G-BRMJ – Very last time in Australia on her delivery flight to wherever she is going!
Virgin ATR!
Started to feel off again so I headed back around to the DJ terminal and waiting for my flight.

Wooo Virgin-ia Blue! .. again!
Second time on her!
Boarded on time and taxied out to RWY01. As I was on the left side of the aircraft I was looking straight into the sun for departure so I decided to wait for the turn until I took some pics.
I think I had the dirtiest window on the whole plane!
Eventually we joined finals for RWY16L, by which time it was getting dark.
Made a smooth landing, long taxi back to Bay 32 and off Virgin-ia Blue for the second time!
