Plenty of aerial mapping over Sydney today, and a busy Cessna C208 Caravan over Wollongong, climbing for a parachute drop.

Air New Zealand Boeing B767-300 ZK-NCL as ANZ6011 just tracked overhead Sydney (1150L) at FL400 and 408kts, heading for Alice Springs and the parking lot.

Great catch and photos, just a shame the 767 is becoming a rare beast in Australia.

This morning Ex. Air New Zealand Link Raytheon (Beech) 1900D ZK-EAP (UE-439) dropped into Sydney for a quick Customs clearance, before heading back out to Bankstown. Sister ship ZK-EAB was scheduled
10 minutes behind EAP, however it apparently conducted two turnbacks to Auckland, and should now arrive at 1605L. Turned out that ZK-EAB was a no show, with some sort of technical problem keeping it in
Auckland (even though FlightAware showed it tracking across the Tasman). The heat haze was bad this morning.

Thanks Graham - I was surprised to see a beech taking off and there were no details on flightradar. All cleared up now!

[Rob Fluke]

There are now 3 ex ANZ b1900 parked up at YSBK, 2 Standard Liveries along TWY K and an all black livery around on N1 apron/taxiway

[Greg Hyde]

I wonder if Hawker Pacific has picked them up for on sale.

They should be ZK-EAP (UE-439 Last b1900 built) with ZK-EAE (UE-428) and ZK-EAG (UE-430).

ZK-EAB (UE-425) turned back.

ZK-EAH and ZK-EAN are still stored in Hamilton NZ awaiting a new owner.

[Grahame Hutchison]

ZK-EAB made it here eventually Greg, after two turn-backs and a test flight, it arrived on Sunday 16th October (ZK-EAP arrived on Saturday 15th October). There should be four at Bankstown, maybe one
is in the Hawker Pacific hangar.

All Nippon Airways - 50th Dreamliner

This morning's ANA879 service was operated by Boeing Dreamliner JA882A, ANAs 50th Dreamliner, and only delivered on the 17th August 2016 (9 weeks old).

FlightRadar24 was showing Runway 34R for the arrival, so I positioned myself on the Port Botany launching ramp to shoot video of the touchdown. Unfortunately, those ATC guys had a different idea, and
re-cleared them to Runway 34L.

As I could not make it around to The Mound in time, Plan B was to go over to Bay 73, and shoot the aircraft under tow to the stand off bay, where it sits until its return flight this evening. Being so new
there were some interesting wing and engine reflections on the fuselage.

Conditions: Back-burning smoke haze, shooting through the security fence at F2.8, limited depth of field, and on the wrong side for the sun.

Great photos Grahame! Great catch with the ex AirNZ Beech B1900s!

Hunter Region SLSA Helicopter Rescue Service Limited's forth AW139 called through for fuel, was originally planned for the base in Newcastle but ended up in Cessnock before heading to Tamworth. Sorry for the blown out sky, facing the sun.

Plenty of variety there Robert, thanks for posting.

The last of the New Zealand B1900Ds should be heading over on 31st October.

[Greg Hyde]

I expect that the Roulettes were returning to East Sale from the Townsville Airshow

Plenty of variety there Robert, thanks for posting.
Been a fair bit during September and October after a boring period.

Didn't photograph Sharp Airlines Metroliner (VH-MYI) which operated four flights (2 x MEB-WGA-MEB) on the 26th, not sure if it was a charter or filling in for REX which has had some AC going tech (http://www.dailyadvertiser.com.au/story/4252644/sorry-people-left-stranded-in-melbourne/?cs=148).

Seem REX needed this sooner, rather than later with a hybrid livery on ZXF. Not sure if the US Airways Express livery works well with REX's! :eek: She's currently in Sydney if you want to check it out!

The last two of the six B1900Ds ferried in from Auckland today, after a splash and dash in Norfolk Island (ZK-EAN & ZK-EAH). A quick Customs clearance and they were off again to Bankstown.

Airservices Australia have introduced a new Runway ILS Calibration technology, and were testing it out during normal operations at Sydney Airport this morning. AUSCAL1 & AUSCAL2 were seen
calibrating the Runway 16R ILS, while Cathay Pacific Airbus A333 B-LAE was making its final approach as CX111.
