That gulfstream has been here for a few days already, it went down to Canberra and then came back yesterday around mid afternoon along with another one.

Just wait for the wonderful smell of unburnt Kerosene when the Il-96 blasts off...

The -300 isn't as smokey as the -400T is it (From the vids I've seen)? The noise should be interesting, hopefully someone can video it.

Did Aeroflot bring one of these to Sydney during the Olympics? I remember seeing either one of these or an IL-86. But I can't imagine they would fly one of those heaps of crap out here.

I got sent a pic of this plane parked today but the fence is in the way. Also a pic of Cathay cargo 747-8.

Yes Brett, we had 2 IL-96's at the Olympics, one Aeroflot and one Domodedovo (the latter parked at BNE but couldn't get a side on shot as there was a B727 in the way)


Some old photos plus an IL86 at Singapore in 1990

Go Peter!

Thanks mate.

I swear I have a pic somewhere of it. But I wouldn't know what box of negatives to start looking in!
