Afternoon All,

This coming week, I plan to head out to Sydney for some long overdue spotting, and at the moment it will most likely be either this Tuesday or Wednesday, and so I was wondering what times would be best to capture international heavies, as I'm looking at midday to evening. Mornings I know is usually the best time, however other commitments have taken priority. Also I'm thinking of basing myself at the beach, so any information or tips on what time/what airlines would be much appreciated.

Thank you,

Todd

Todd, If you have a look at 16Right (http://www.16Right.com) ACARS or take one of these links for last Tuesday (http://www.16right.com/Acars%20Live.php?AcarsDate=20140715&submit=Search) or Wednesday (http://www.16right.com/Acars%20Live.php?AcarsDate=20140716&submit=Search), you will get a good idea of the Airlines, Aircraft and Arrival/Departure times throughout the daty.

It gets quiet after lunchtime with heavies having a break but they pick up again from about 3pm when you get the Asia rush, and the likes of the United flights going to the US.
