A surprise first visit today from the Royal Flying Doctor Service Pilatus PC-12NG VH-FXZ, operating a patient transport mission from Adelaide to Sydney - This aircraft was the 1,500th off the production line and is based in South Australia.

Nice catch and great photos! Saw it on my ADS-B feed (intranet only). Have had two visit WGA and this one would be great to see!

Thanks Robert, it's a beautiful aircraft, and the Patient Stretcher unloading system is very good.

Well, I thought five Airbus A380s from five different Airlines in the one DSLR shot was difficult, however I achieved this back in January. This morning the planets aligned once again, but this time it was 6 A380s from 6 different Airlines at Sydney Airport. If the departing Korean A380 had taxied just a couple of minutes earlier, a 7 A380 7 Airline shot may have been on.

The USAF Boeing B757-200 (C-32A) 99-0003 departed this morning, after arriving late on Saturday night. They taxied past Shep's Mound on CHARLIE and then departed off Runway 34L - and they were up early.

This morning's SQ221 SIN-SYD service was operated by the latest Singapore Airlines Airbus A380 9V-SKV, only delivered one week ago. This was its first commercial service, and only the second A380 to be fitted with the all new SQ Cabin configuration.

I always have an eye out for the shot Mark, there is a lot of luck involved, especially for 7 or 8, and you can only do it when the summer seasonal services are operating - about a month to go.
