Today's Cathay Cargo was in the new livery, a very clean look, maybe just a little too clean. Departing Runway 16R as CPA28 to Melbourne and Hong Kong.

Maverick: Requesting permission for flyby.
ATC: That's a negative Ghostrider, the pattern is full.
Goose: No. No, Mav, this is not a good idea.
Maverick: Sorry Goose, but it's time to buzz the tower.

Great set of shots Grahame, nice one of the two JQ 788s and also the CX 744F. Interesting that the Cathay Brushwing is on the inside of the winglets, not the outside.
