Just flew over the Harbour northbound, with one in tail.

Pretty boring stuff really...one pass then gone!! I thought it might have done a few passes at least.

A few shots
It did three passes: one from south to north followed by two from east to west with a nice right bank over the Harbour Bridge and City.
I managed to grab a few shots with my pocket camera but only from a distance:

I was lucky enough to be aboard for the last passenger flight.
Left Richmond at 1000, tracked to Williamtown and picked up the Hawk. A fly over of Williamtown, down the coast and lined up on 34R, wheels up fly over of Sydney, headed to the eastern side of the Harbour Bridge and did 3 different circuits then home to Richmond by 1130hrs. The Hawk stayed along side all the way getting some nice tracking shots (we hope). ABC and Channel 10 should be running a story tonight. Boarding the plane with the specially painted tail: On the return, the KC10 who had been stuck at Richmond for two weeks under repair had just started to push back and went home: |

The yanks in the KC-10 must have thought it pretty funny that we've got an aircraft retiring after only 29 years service to the nation!

Channel 10 just promoted the story as:-
"And a startling sight over Sydney, a fighter jet chasing a passenger plane" with vision underneath. My God!! What a way to stir up paranoia. An historic occasion reduced to misguided sensationalism.

We sort of had a laugh to think what people thought on the ground after the fly-past of Sydney.
A four engine jet with a blue tail jet on approach... does not land, then heads straight towards the CBD.... with a fighter along side. With the government promoting the anti-terror hotline recently too! |
