JetGo's Embraer ERJ 140 VH-ZJE has operated two BNE-WGA-BNE flights and is scheduled for tomorrow's JGO38/39 (as of 9pm).


RAAF C-27J A34-001 arrived this evening, parking in Bay 6. As VH-QQR required the bay, 001 reversed to the taxiiway (due to the B300 Air Ambulance parked in Bay 5) and relocated to Bay 1.




Alliance Fokker 70 VH-QQR (typically WA based) arrived from PER as UTY551, chartering West Coast Eagles players and staff for an AFL pre season in Narrandera on Saturday afternoon.


Interesting arrival of QantasLink Q400 which has one engine shut down

Thanks Robert, great to see the movements from Wagga Wagga - good catch on the C-27J

Nothing unusual about the Q400, its just a one engine taxi in position, has been in place for over a year

Robert,

Great shots,

The other shots of the JetGo ERJ was interesting as the reverse thrusters were deployed.

Thanks Zac, haven't noticed it before (other than VA's AT72s). Though QON needs a touch up. :/

Thanks Greg, had noticed that as well. Have seen the odd Cessna CJ and Fokker deploy the reverse thrusters while taxiing.

Rare visit for NRA, VA AT72-600 VH-VPJ chartering GWS for the AFL Pre Season game in Narrandera. Missed VH-QQR departing WGA back to PER by 8 minutes.

Love was in the air at Sydney Airport this morning, with Emirates SkyCargo B777 A6-EFL in "Valentine's Day Rose" livery arriving on Runway 16R at 0957L.

Indonesian President Joko Widodo, and his wife Iriana Widodo, departed Sydney on Sunday afternoon at 1700L, following a weekend of talking trade and investment with some of the nation's biggest companies,
the Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, and NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian. A large official party was on hand to farewell the President and his wife.

The Indonesian Air Force's Boeing 737-8U3 BBJ2 (41706) 2012 A-001 was used on this trip, touching down in Sydney on Saturday morning at 0658L.
