Default Canberra 22nd Jan

I will be in Canberra on Friday January 22nd and was wondering will there be any noteworth aircraft there on Friday? And are there any good spotting locations?

I'm not aware of any particularly noteworthy aircraft that day, but being Canberra you can often be surprised. Apart from that there's the usual QF and DJ 737s, RAAF BBJ & CL604s, Qantaslink Q400s, Brindabella Metros & J41s and Virgin E170s and E190s. Plus a smattering of GA and helicopters.

Best spotting location (esp in afternoon) is the upper deck of the car park in the Brindabella Business Park, south of the terminal building/construction area. It directly overlooks Taxiway Bravo and the touchdown point to Runway 35.

Thanks, What airline will the B767 be and when you mean a C5 you mean a C-5 Galaxy?

Last question. I will also be returning to Canberra in early Feb but I am only going as I got a free flight from Qantas last year. But flight is scheduled to arrive in Canberra at 10:55AM and my flight back is scheduled to leave at 12:25PM. If my flight there is delayed. Does Qantas just put you on the next available flight?

I'm not aware of any 767 or C-5 so don't get your hopes up!

And to answer your last question, if both sectors are Qantas they'll look after you no worries.

Sorry one more question. On the way to Canberra it is a Dash 8 Q300 and was wondering if they had overhead bins on the dash 8?
