I wouldn't like to be working at Sydney Airport tonight - this was the view out over Botany Bay and the southern end of Runways 16R & 16L.

The aircraft light track across the second image, just to the left of centre, is Air New Zealand B763 ZK-NCJ operating ANZ61 on final for Runway 34R.

[Alex T]

Excellent shots Grahame! Thanks for sharing! Btw were's the location? It looks like somewhere near Eastgardens Westfield?

[Grahame Hutchison]

Good guess Alex, actually just down the road from East Gardens but much higher.

Singapore Airlines 50th Birthday livery on A380 9V-SKI departing from Sydney's Runway 34L on a windy and cold winters day.

Nice catch Grahame! Saw it pass over my house this afternoon. A380 looks great in that livery. I wonder which plane Singapore's going to use for their second livery and if they're going to keep it the same.

[Robert.M]

VH-XWS now wearing Alliance livery, departed back to Brisbane this evening.

VH-PPD arrived this afternoon, though no where to be spotted (possibly in the Douglas hangar)

[Grahame Hutchison]

Only needed the tail and titles on the already white fuselage, so a quick turn around indeed Robert.

Scoot B787-9 Dreamliner 9V-OJE arrived in Sydney this morning just after 1130L, sporting the new SG50 livery which celebrated Singapore's 50th National
Anniversary. The aircraft has been operating the Singapore-Perth route, and this is its first visit to Sydney.

Looks like the Gold Coast to Tokyo is diverting to Cairns

[Greg Hyde]

I'm seeing spots !!

TZ2 is being operated by Scoot's first B788 9V-OFA, just airborne ex SIN

[Grahame Hutchison]

Scoot's first Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner 9V-OFA (37117) visited Sydney for the first time this morning - seen here departing Runway 34L. The aircraft was only
delivered on 17th July 2015. I think that the Scoot livery may even look better on the B787-8 compared to the B787-9.

A6-GGP was parked over on Bay 72 this morning, and as usual from "The Mound", the heat haze got in the way.

A340 movements are few and far between at Sydney Airport these days, seen here is Hi Fly's A340-313X CS-TQY on a military charter. It was airborne off
34L very early, so a very light load on this sector.

Air New Zealand are still operating the Dreamliner on NZ103/104 on an irregular basis, seen here is ZK-NZG departing from 34R.
