just did the fly over now at mcg, watching on TV looked pretty awesome better if it was a 747.

[Sarah C]

WOW! What a flyover, and unlike last year when 10 showed 5 seconds of the A380, they actually stayed with it and it was very impressive!

[Brandon Giacomin]

Yeah she looked pretty good, EBK was the rego.

Or an A380 like last year. But Qantas just can't spare one.

Saw the A330 from my balcony flying low as it took the unusual path initially across the inner-northwest heading east toward the city. Fantastic aerial footage caught of the flyover of the G - the 330 looked quite graceful actually - although it may not be as grand as the 747 or 380.

Thought I'd check out WebTrak and see the path it took across Melbourne and gee it obviously got up early and had to do a lot of circling over the eastern suburbs before it was cued to flyover during the choir's performance. It got as low as 270 metres above the G.

Here's a screenshot of the crazy track it took...

Anyone notice with the flaps down how unstable she looked. What was the wind like down there?

[Jon B]

Very gusty winds all day with rain and sunshine - typical Melbourne winters day. Noticed it passing near our house after it completed its MCG duties

Probably because they are too busy doin a crappy job at digitally entering it into other promotional material...........


A330 laps of the city would have been pretty fun though, bet the crew had a lot of fun doing that!

Saw the flyover on the telly for a few seconds

Waggling the wings is not a good look.....aircraft looks " unstable "

Just fly straight and level.......
