I was after a few more images of the Air New Zealand Dreamliner for an eBook I am producing, so I spent the morning at the Mound and was not disappointed.
Apart from a close up look at ZK-NZE taxiing on Charlie for a Runway 34R departure, Air India's VT-ANQ and Jetstar's VH-VKH also operated services today. All
images taken from the Mound.

The black finish is so perfect you can see the reflection of the port wing and engine on the fuselage.

Sure love the AirNZ livery on that Dreamliner. :) First photo is my favourite.

VP-CFP taxiing at Wagga, under overcast skys. Hope it is easily spotted at Bankstown and the weather is better in Sydney.

A great day to not be at work!

[Jaryd stock]

I heard one Pilot say, after being told of windsheer by ATC : Giddyup!

[Rowan McKeever]

Grahame - I wonder if the A310 you noted in the 'noteworthy movements only' thread is what I saw parked at the Fairbairn apron in Canberra this evening? Was there when I drove past around 6pm.

This one??? Should be in Sydney by now!

[Rowan McKeever]

That looks like the one Zac! Looks better 'up close' than it did from Pialligo Ave!

[Erik H. Bakke]

Was parked at the Eastern end next to the fence tonight when I went past. Important looking fellas were disembarking and onto a bus.

F-ONZC is actually ex-Jetstar VH-VQD

[Grahame Hutchison]

Another crazy weather day in Sydney, however there were a few aircraft that just needed to be shot. Nice to catch up with Merv, Kurt, Jaryd etc.

F-OZNC Aircalin's new A320 in the new livery - very nice (Ex Jetstar VH-VQD). There was a down pour just as Aircalin was about to roll on takeoff.

Nice shots guys, that VH-RIU is that new or has it just got a new paint scheme? Don't really keep track of Ramp Trash!

[Grahame Hutchison]

Not new Jaryd, its 2005 model "Ramp Trash" as you call it, a bit older than that 2008 RAAF Gray/Blue thingy that needs a new coat of paint and only gets airbourne because of the curvature of the earth.

[Jayden Laing]

Nice shots guys, that VH-RIU is that new or has it just got a new paint scheme? Don't really keep track of Ramp Trash!

VH-RIU is very new to Australia. It ferried into Melbourne Essendon on 12AUG14. It's previous rego was M-YCEF & it wore the same paint scheme that it's currently wearing. Personally, I think it's one of the nicest looking Australia registered bizjets!

[Grahame Hutchison]

The colours over black and white on VH-RIU are simply stunning, and full marks for style, I would have to agree that it is probably the best corporate livery in Australia.

The operator is from Perth, so hopefully we get to see it once in a while.

[Jaryd stock]

Ha ha, Grahame yes. I do agree though it is a nice looking bit of ramp trash!

It will be interesting to see how the airline goes, I know many Filipino friends who frequent the home nation, however, they for the majority of the time use Singapore Airlines due to the large family and luggage that is going, bypassing their own national airline that flies here.

[Kurt A]

Congratulations to both Sydney Airport and Cebu!

Here are some more pics from Cebu's A330 arrival and Media Event at Sydney Airport yesterday, enjoy.

[Easton S]

I'm not sure if this is the right thread to post it in, but my ADS-B logs from today, I noticed a plane registered in San Marino. Its transmitted callsign was T7SCI, which I assume is also its registration; however, I can't find any details about this plane anywhere. It's also the first time it's shown up on my logs. Anyone have any idea about this plane? Its ICAO is 500065.


T7SCI
11/09/2014 11:38:42 - 11/09/2014 12:50:29 1:11:47 500065 T7SCI San Marino Civil GND
11/09/2014 15:06:54 - 11/09/2014 15:19:50 12:56 500065 T7SCI San Marino Civil 99 m to 9936 m

[Stefan Perkas]

It is ex. VH-SQD. It performed a test flight around Sydney for 1 hours this morning. It departed Sydney for Mt. Isa at 1500. It then departed to Darwin where it still at the moment

[Nigel C]

I believe it may have had a change of rego and is possibly no longer SQD. Last week I noticed that it had what looked like a plastic sheet over the rego label and VH-SQD handwritten on it. I didn't go close enough to see what the plastic was hiding underneath.

[Easton S]

Oh I see. Do you know why it's transmitting as T7SCI instead of VH-SQD?

Edit: Beaten to it by Nigel. Thanks for the information :).

[Craig Murray]

SCI part of T7SCI possibly relates to Southern Cross International who could be doing the ferry?

[Easton S]

VH-VEC seems to be weaving up and down the coast - perhaps doing some aerial survey or photography?
