First visit for Australian Corporate Jet Centres (VH-OFJ) Hawker 800XP, weather was rather poor (lighting wise) but lucky enough to have a second chance with better lighting today.

[Grahame Hutchison]

Thanks for the update Robert, great images. We have had OFJ through Sydney a couple of times now.

[Robert.M]

Thanks Grahame. :) Was the first Hawker 800 to visit to WGA, rather new to their fleet as well.

Not seen this far south too often is TWB based Austrek Air Charter VH-WXO Beechcraft B200 Super King Air. GA at NRA isn't easy to photograph due to the Bellman Hangar and tall cyclone (aka chain-link) fence.

Helicorp/Toll Helicopters VH-TJF AW139 called into WGA for fuel. Interestingly it no longer has Ambulance of NSW logos on it, now has ACT Gov and ACT Ambulance Service logos. Would've thought it would have both since it serves ACT and Southern NSW.

[MarkR]

Surprised no one has mentioned the Korean Air 747-8 service which started earlier in the month.

[Kent Broadhead]

Too early for most people? I haven't seen in the metal but have been tracking it regularly (well, at least partly with my 9yo looking for 748s)

[Grahame Hutchison]

[MarkR]

Cool, thanks for the pics! So nice to see a new 747! A couple of weeks ago was lined up with a QF 747 beside me in HKG - so good to see.

[Kent Broadhead]

Thanks guys! That 0755 departure makes it hard for us lazy people to catch it. May need to drag the young one out this Saturday :)

[Robert.M]

Great photos Grahame and Nigel! Nice to see the 747 living on PA wise! Now just need Qantas to order a few (unlikely with the 787s on order). ;)

VH-SYZ now sporting a new look for CHC's SAR/AME contract with the ADF.

[Grahame Hutchison]

Thanks Robert, and WOW, I haven't seen a flying Nomad for such a long time - what a great catch.

[MarkR]

I think Mahindra let XGZ out once in a while, it’s a N24 of course.

https://abpic.co.uk/pictures/view/1571689

LTV has always had interesting aircraft hidden in its hangers. I am a little biased since I first went solo there.

[Grahame Hutchison]

A quick visit to Williamtown yesterday - Hawks A27-02, A27-14 and Sikorsky S-76 VH-LAI

XGZ was going to be the patent a/c for GippsAero GA18.

The project is currently on the back burner.

[Robert.M]

Last Nomad I've seen was the one at RAAF Base Wagga, which is a N22B. Hopefully it doesn't end up as scrap.

Great photographs Grahame! BAE Hawk is an impressive little jet trainer!

Wagga City Aero Club had an open day on Saturday, some aircraft of interest.

First Sydney Visit

Third revenue service and first visit to Sydney Airport - Virgin Australia latest Boeing B738 VH-YWA "Cable Beach". The aircraft operated Brisbane-Sydney as VOZ950, arriving at 1446L on Runway 34L, and taxiing to Gate 33 via BRAVO.

You are catching some great aircraft down there in Wagga Wagga Robert - VH-EXQ is a Sydney regular.

[Grahame Hutchison]

Air New Zealand B789 Dreamliner ZK-NZL operated its first revenue service this morning, NZ101/NZ102 AKL-SYD-AKL.
