QF129 to Shanghai today was a 744 (-OEH). Is this a once off with a 744 or going to be regular?

Been happening a bit over the last few weeks but most likely related to Chinese New Year travel & probably won't last

Some very noteworthy movements in Wagga today, a few Avalon Airshow traffic calling in for fuel for their trip home. Some photos to come.

Piper PA-32R-300 N221WG and Lake LA-4-200 Buccaneer VH-TZT stopped for a fuel stop and departed once refilled.



Three Tigers (A38-014, A38-017 and A38-018) and MRH-90s (A40-003, A40-016, A40-018) called in, though one Tiger and two MRH-90s are still here due to an issue with "A38-018" and "A40-003" and are currently blocking taxiway Lima.







ex Vincent Aviation SAAB 340B VH-VNA arrived from Townsville as RXA9951.


IAI Westwind 1124 VH-KNS remains parked after arriving on Thursday evening from Avalon.

Yesterday saw A333 VH-QPH depart 16R as QF6111 for BNE. Very steep climb, gear remained down then disappeared from sight around 4,000 ft, gear still down. Tracked way inland up to BNE at FL220, never faster than 350 kts GS. Maintenance flight with gear down the whole way perhaps?

Hi all,

QF18 (OEF) received a water cannon salute arriving onto Bay 8 today. Does anybody know why (perhaps a retiring crew member)?

VH-FWH finally arrived in Wagga for paint.
