Default Photos: Super Saturday in Sydney (23/10/2010)

Hi all

Spent a fantastic morning by the fence yesterday before heading off to work. Clear skies and good winds to have the aircraft essentially rotate infront of The Mound, making for some great photo opportunities (At least compared to other days I've been there).

The following are the photos that I came home with.

(Was interesting listening to the ATC issuing holding instructions to this chopper)


Anyhow, that's all for now. Thankfully I have 4 days off work this week, so definitely hope to make a full day out of it sometime depending on the weather!

Enjoy

Brilliant job, the first photo of the REX Saab is by far my favourite, so crisp and clean

Thanks Todd!

Admittedly I like the SAAB and Emirates photo, which were hopefully my catches for the day!

Great shots Maikha, as usual, but you missed the lovely weather (NOT) and all of the fun on the Sunday afternoon!!!

Strategic A332 VH-SSA with lightening


QF A380 VH-OQD...


ETIHAD A346 A6-EHK meeting United about to depart...

And then we had TWO off 34R turn LEFT to avoid weather (I think) which looked amazing!
QF 763 VH-ZXD


Followed by DJ 737 VH-VBI

Bernie how the hell did you get that Strategic shot that's a great shot,Wish the sun was out,no cloud out to the west anyway would have been great light.Super Saturday was a couple of weeks ago though when everything left or arrived on 25 for the whole day,there was smoke from the port engine from a QF A333,about 7 go around's and a Garuda pilot that hop skipped and jumped his A333 down the runway and a line up that made you think you were at LAX or JFK now that,s a Saturday i wont forget...

The Strategic shot was a Strategic FLUKE!!!!

The weather was REALLY bad on the Sunday, pardon the pun, but bucket loads of rain! They were all hand held, and on a 'wing and a prayer'... I didn't realise I got the lightening bolt until I got home and uploaded them!

Hey guys,
some good shots there. I use to frequent the YSSY forums but due to work commitments (aviation believe it or not) I have been rather absent. I moved to Sydney about 14 months ago and have just started getting back into my spotting and photographing. So I'll take this chance to say hi again and throw up some shots from saturday as well. I was there test driving my new 100-400L.











Regards Matt

Matt and Bernie, they are some outstanding photos, and pretty much I'm happy to say you gentlemen have outdone me from Saturday's efforts.

Bernie, agree that the Strategic shot with lightening is a RIPPER!

Matt, that show of the SAAB 340 is absolutely fantastic, and you've done well to get the light flash. Infact, all your shots are some outstanding stuff!


Does anyone know what the go with the Strategic aircraft is?
