Default Amazing

That's an incredible video and is far more emotional than any of their recent ads...

Thanks everyone for taking the time to post the pics. I had pics and vids from fora, friends and family coming up all day - really an amazing sight.

Driving up from Nowra yesterday afternoon I expected it to be more visible from the highway, but there is only a brief view of the vertical stab, mores the pity

Hi all, my first post. I was fortunate enough to watch the landing and took some footage.
Unfortunately I doesn't seem that I can attach videos to this post so here's two links to Youtube.
Interestingly, as I was walking in to work after the landing, QF63 flew over on the way to Johannesburg. QF63 was my first flight in 'OJA.

The landing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KQm05om2no

My tribute video to OJA including footage from several flights in her: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hq-SFZEwgus

and here's a screen shot from the above video:

Good coverage on all Sydney news last night.

Good PR all around.

I wonder if there will be a fleet of trucks between Albion Park & Mascot recovering engines, non-essential equipment (for display) etc. ?

Jacob, any chance of purchasing one of your photos? I'd like to frame it and put it on the wall with the rest of my aviation photo.
