[Ian Gains]

RP-C8762 A330-300 Philippines is operating PAL211/2 today.

[Grahame Hutchison]

Today's United 840 service to LAX has diverted to Hawaii.

UPDATE: Apparently a planned fuel stop ?

[Rowan McKeever]

Planned fuel stop SYD-LAX, eastbound? On a 77E? Weird...

[Robert.M]

Maybe fuel rationing in SYD? I know MEL had fuel rationing last month. Unless there was a medical or disruptive PAX that required the detour/stop?

[Robert.M]

Notable visitor to Wagga yesterday was VH-VDX (Pratt Aviation) Bombardier BD700 Global Express and VH-VBX (Pratt Aviation) Bell 206B (III).

[Sarah C]

No doubt related ?

[John Thoroughgood]

Wow, I wonder how long the C-32A is remaining in Sydney. Wonder is it likely to visit YCBR also. I would love to get a good image of this bird.

[Robert.M]

There are times I kick myself for not having my camera!
Wagners Aviation Services (VH-WJY) Agusta Westland AW119 MK2 called into YSWG for fuel.

Also of interest is Bond Helicopters (VH-NYZ) Sikorsky S-92A is heading south (currently in Moree), possibly for Avalon.

[lloyd fox]

Robert there is a pic of the S-92A on our BNE blog see below.

[Robert.M]

Nice!

VH-NYZ arrived late, just towards the end of last light, also had a hard time finding a parking spot. Though was slow taxiing but I did spot a fox and rabbits airside. Though VH-ZRC/RXA3286 parked in Bay 6 (normally REX parks its aircraft in Bay 1, 2 and 3), with Bay 1 and 2 free but VH-SBA/RXA681 parked in Bay 1.

Due to low light, anything higher then 1000px is grainy.
