I've read elsewhere that Air China will have a funky livery in Sydney tomorrow on the B773 service

[matthew mcdonald]

To anyone that is interested,

Tomorrow's EK 418 service will be operated by 777-300 A6-ECG which currently has the Real Madrid stickers at the rear of the aircraft.

Thanks

Does anyone know the status and purpose of the light aircraft conducting East-West flight patterns between the CBD and Airport early this afternoon. I imagine survey work?

[Robert.M]

Interesting pick-up this afternoon, though at a loss regarding the altitude.

What was it doing in sydney?

[Sarah C]

Taking the Qatar football team home after being eliminated from the Asian Cup

[Todd Steele]

Cheers for that Sarah, I tracked it as It climbed out, unfortunately I wasn't aware of it at the time and got the shock of my life. So disappointed I wasn't able to spot the "other" of the ME3.

QLink Q400 VH-QOH ('Pinky') scheduled for a test flight at TMW lunchtime today, after being in Mx since early December. This should mean -LQG (currently scheduled for TMW-SYD-DBO-SYD for this morning) will change places with QOH later today...??? In theory anyway!2079

[Robert.M]

RFDS (Western Operations) VH-KWO Pilatus PC12 is on route to Sydney from Adelaide. Due to depart tomorrow morning for Auckland!

Edit:
Looks like it has a new owner, hasn't been in service since early 2014 going by http://www.aviationwa.org.au/aircraft-photos-movements/may-2014/

If I'm not mistaken, it's just taxiied into the Eastern Park as I type.
