Low flying 747

AdamC · #1 14th May 2009, 03:09 PM

Just wondering if anyone with radar or some sydney guru's can tell what 744 passed over nowra at about 1500 local.

Was quiet low, if it was qf63 to jnb i'm guessing it was running pretty late. But normally even that flight passes over at about 20,000ft.

Unfortuneatly i wasn't quick enough to grab the camera to get a shot of it.

Cheers

Adam

Was it definately a 747?

Nowra doesn't really see any 747 traffic other than QF63 which departed at approx 10am today so that wasn't it.

What direction was it headed in?

After a little bit of research the aircraft flew into YSCB at flight FJI1, B744. Air Pacific government flight?

I don't know if this sheds any light on it:

DQ-FJK SQ0001 14/05/2009 14:31 Air Pacific B747-412 --------

DQ-FJC operated the NAN service today.

There definitely wasn't any 747 at Canberra today to the best of my knowledge.

I have seen at another forum that FJI1 was due in at MEL at 1530 today, as to the reason for it i don't know.
