Great shots of her everyone. Maybe not the most exciting thing flying but how good does she look!

One of my favourite angles at Sydney, if you can get in tight enough on a good day and catch the jet wash - just a bit to hot on Saturday (HL7596).


LAN CC-CQC The other issue on bright hot days is the glare of a white fuselage (sometimes other colours).


Garuda Indonesia PK-GPS


Thought I would try some different angles, these three are from the Ikea Car Park - an hour or so later would have been better light wise. A little surprised
how small the engines look from this angle.




China Airlines B-18359


And a couple from the steel pier off the Foreshore Road parking area - caught three of the Jetstar "Sharklets" yesterday.

My guess is some kind of charter linked to the visiting Arizona Diamond back baseball team , who I believe have their home base in Phoenix AZ..

I believe both the MLB teams came out here on separate QF charters.
