Something very special for Canberra

[Grant Smith]

Brenden,

Considering CI is a Taiwanese airline, I would say it has sweet **** all to do with healthy eating in China...

The relay will be on 24Apr. The plane is due to arrive 23Apr, so tomorrow.

China Airlines has 3 special painted aircrafts in relation to the argriculture department. 2x330s (Orchid and Fruit) and 1x738 (Lavender).

so who's going to drop by the airport before work to see it arrive? (but beware the traffic!)

[Jeff Gilbert]

I will be heading out in the morning to have a look. Sunrise will be broadcasting the arrival live so it should be here sometime between 6am-9am.

[Matthew Hogg]

Today also broadcasted the event live. Landed 20 minutes early (0750), I must say somewhat a perfect landing!

Hi all!
Spent most of today within striking distance of the airport. Thought the torch and A330 might fly this arvo, however as of 1600 the covers hadn't even come off the motors. Shame it wasn't facing opposite way!
Anyone aware whether it is departing tonight, as I expect, or maybe a.m. tomorrow?
Cheers John.

Not too special but a rare sighting in Canberra in the afternoon.

VH-OGM operating QF957 from Brisbane to Canberra. Anyone know why it's a767 operating this flight?

Seeing out of the blue Ian Thorpe at the airport. I thought that was just very random that I saw him. Don't know if he was headed for Sydney or Melbourne but could it be related to the 767 flight?

Anyway... Not too special but not really worth starting another thread.

Alex.

It appears that while parliament is sitting they have put the 763 on the afternoon run.
