Default December Noteworthy Movements Discussion

MODERATOR:

Pictures, Comments, Questions etc for December Noteworthy Movements should be posted here.






Tomorrow's ANZ103 is being operated by a B777-300ER, and given that ZK-OKP (a.k.a. Hobbit jet) is currently on its way to AKL as ANZ1 it's very likely that we're gonna see some Hobbits tomorrow.

Anyone to confirm this?

These will be common on this flight now. Up until XMAS they will operate 5 out of 7 flights, then the A330 will operate the other 2. Then just after XMAS the B772's will operate all SQ241/242 flights.

Yesterday's was operated by 9V-SVM. Today's SQ241/242 is being operated by 9V-SRN.

What a way to start the month.
Unfortunately, with the weather/temp predicted tomorrow, I reckon it would be quite challenging to get a clean shot, pending on the runway movement, Qantas Drive and it's surroundings might just be the best spot.

Enjoy the Hobbit spotting tomorrow. Got to miss this one due to other commitments.

Cheers,
HB

The Hobbit has arrived in SYD & in other news, China Eastern B-6127, is back to wearing the standard scheme! It's operating MU561/562 today.

Good shots mate, I didn't fare any better on the other side, I am liking the new black tail too.

The black tail looks great with the Hobbit decals, however, I don't think I'll share the same sentiments on their normal livery once they repaint their aircraft...
