Exclamation EY451 today

Hey everyone,

I have a very close friend leaving on Etihad flight 451 (A345) today at 3.20pm local (Sydney time). Unfortunately I am at uni at the moment, and won't get a chance to see it leave as I will be in class.

Was just wondering if anyone who happens to be around the airport this afternoon catches a pic of it, I would love it if you wouldn't mind PM the pic please.

Much thanks

Cheers

I have some good news for your friend, today's EY 451 is operated by an A346 not an A345 and it is the Formula One painted livery.

really, wow. thanks matthew!!!! i'm sure she would have loved it

I know it was a 34L departure, and I was trying to look out the window to catch any glimpse of it. Was it possibly delayed? Sydney Airport website says it "completed" on time, so I guess I must have missed it

But thanks for the great news Matt, really appreciate it mate.

Cheers

That's fine mate. I went to have lunch with my dad and we were eating on the 23rd level of his Darling Harbour building and I could see the Etihad being tugged rom hardstand back to its gate.
