Sq 219

[Stefan Perkas]

Afternoon all,

SQ219 tonight will be operated by an A380. It arrives at 2034. Unsure of Rego.

[Ken K]

Rego is 9V-SKC.

9V-SKC (http://cdn-www.airliners.net/aviation-photos/middle/1/8/6/1356681.jpg) SQ0219 16/11/2008 20:20 Singapore Airlines A380-841 <----- Singapore-Sydney

[Nigel C]

In case anyone missed it, the rego of tonight's extra Dugong is 9V-SKC.

Here's the proof!

In case anyone missed it, the rego of tonight's extra Dugong is 9V-SKC.

I wasnt sure until the 4rd post:D It was the one that sold it.

[phil.l]

But whats the rego of the diver?

[James Smith]

VH-DAN for diver Dan! :p

[phil.l]

James thought he was German, D-IVER

[Grahame Hutchison]

Further attempts to identify which Dugong was operating SQ219
tonight have resulted in confusion, as there appears to be two
Dugongs with the same registration. CASA Vets have been called
in to take specimens for testing to determine the correct registration.

Just goes to show... even if you get two dugongs next to each other... they don't look any better!

What would the collective noun for a group of Dugongs be??

A fugly of dugongs perhaps?

[Grahame Hutchison]

An AIRBUS of Dugong maybe !

If the Japanese would eat them, instead of whales and dolphins, the 9V-SKC identity crisis would disappear.

[Stefan Perkas]

Evening all,

SQ219 tonight will be operated by a 777-200. Reg. is unknown but there are 3 different blocks SR, SQ and SV blocks of the 200's

[phil.l]

9v-srl b777-212

[Stefan Perkas]

Evening all,

Just a question, is this the first SR' block to operate a Singapore-Sydney flight?

[phil.l]

Stefan just looked back in my logs and i haven`t logged a SR? rego in Sydney ,but thats not to say one hasn`t been in before.

[Stefan Perkas]

Evening all,

Another question is, Does anyone no why the 772 is on this flight tonight and operating SQ220 tomorrow morning? Also the A380 operated this flight early in the week what was the reason for that?

[Grahame Hutchison]

Stefan and Phil,

I checked my ACARS aircraft database and I have logged the following :

9V-SQF B777-212(ER)

9V-SRC B777-212(ER)
9V-SRI B777-212(ER)
9V-SRL B777-212(ER)

and 15 from the SV block.

[Mike W]

Great thread. Proof that very amusing and talented individuals frequent this site :D

[Benny Zheng]

Here's SQ220 for today :)

Here is a image from a recent photo shoot I did at the Dugong manufacturers headquarters in Totaloose (pronounced Toulouse) in France.

It's easy to see where the Dugong gets it's stunning good looks from, there is a very strong heritage in the family tree, the breeding gene pool they have to work with must be a little shallow. Although, I would have to admit that the little brothers and sisters are cute.

Here's SQ220 for today :)
Great shot Benny! Great light for such a dull morning, never would have thought you could get some sunshine.

9V-SVA has been here almost 30 times.

[phil.l]

Grahame are you saying that all this aircraft listed have been into Sydney?? or on your acars.

[Grahame Hutchison]

Phil, These have all been picked up on my Sydney ACARS but I forgot to filter the query on YSSY as the arrival or departure airport.

SQ0297 and SQ298 are the Singapore-Christchurch sectors.
SQ0281 is Singapore-Auckland
SQ0245 is Singapore-Brisbane
SQ0235 is Singapore-Brisbane
SQ0237 is Singapore-Melbourne

9V-SQA flights were all to or from New Zealand.

So that leaves only

SQ0219 Singapore-Sydney on the 21/11/2008

[phil.l]

cheers Grahame .

[Stefan Perkas]

Evening all,

Tonights SQ 219 was operated by 9V-SYH a 777-300.

[Benny Zheng]

Here's SYH. Horrible weather this morning.

http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2/zwgbenny/IMG_5813A600.jpg

[Tim Bowrey]

Haha another nice one Benny, you were standing right next to me when you took that;) Too but for the dull weather:(

Tim

[Michael Cleary]

SQ seem to have only 14 744's now - a shortage of aircraft, combined with low loads perhaps is causing these substitutions?

[Tim Bowrey]

Not complaining. Its great to have a better variety rather than the 2 744's in the morning dont you think? :D

[Benny Zheng]

Haha another nice one Benny, you were standing right next to me when you took that;) Too but for the dull weather:(

Tim

You were next to me Tim ? :eek: Gosh.. Which one is you? Apology for not introducing myself...

[matthew mcdonald]

Tim's car was the small white one parked up on the hill. Blake Riley was the very tall person, I was the person sitting in the back seat of his car and Tim was the person over the driver's side of his car. That is the best way I can describe us as I can't remember what we were wearing.

[Benny Zheng]

Haha ok. Got to say hello next time i see you guys :D.

[Wenglock M]

Guys,

Just a heads up - 9V-SYG (777-312) came in tonight as SQ219, and will depart tomorrow morning as SQ220.

Cheers,
Wenglock.

[Stefan Perkas]

Afternoon all,

Sorry to bring this thread back up but SQ219 will be operated by a 777-200 tonight. I am unsure which block (SR, SQ or SV) it will be operated by.

[Brandon Giacomin]

9V-SQN is the rego.

[phil.l]

Dont be sorry Stefan, always good to hear/see that a different aircraft coming into Sydney, keep the posts coming. cheers.

[Stefan Perkas]

Afternoon all,

SQ219 tonight will be operated by a 777-300. It will be an 9V-SY* series -300. I can also tell you it wont be 9V-SYI as that operated SQ237-238 SIN-MEL-SIN today.

[phil.l]

Stefan is SQ219 the overnight service?

[matthew mcdonald]

It sure is.

[phil.l]

Thanks Matthew.

[Micheil Keegan]

[Stefan Perkas]

Afternoon all,

SQ are retiring alot of aircraft now. They retired 9V-SPM this week. A lot of 777's are being reitred shortly except for the 77W's. In the 200 series 9V-SRA- SRE, SQA-SQE and SVA-E and in the 300's 9V-SYA-SYE are going to be retired.

So you may see alot of different aircraft on this flight depending on loads. Because from June Australai will receive 2x 744 flights (SQ227-228 and SQ219-220), 3x 77W flights (SQ 231-232, SQ 233-234 and SQ 217-218), 7x A333 flights (all Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth flights).

[Nigel C]

The A380's being removed?

[Stefan Perkas]

Nigel,

Sorry I forgot about the 1 A380 flight.

[J Brown]

SQ are retiring alot of aircraft now. They retired 9V-SPM this week....772 9V-SQB was also removed from service

[Stefan Perkas]

Evening all,

SQ219 is being operated by a B777-300. It will be an 9V-SY* series aircraft.

[Peter Agatsiotis]

9V-SYK in tonight.

[Stefan Perkas]

Evening all,

SQ219 has diverted to Darwin. I would presume it would have been a medical reason. It is due at just after 2200

[phil.l]

Stefan is it a B747?

[J Brown]

it is a 744, yes.

[phil.l]

Thanks Liam.

[Stefan Perkas]

Eveniga all,

Could I please have a rego for this flight when it arrives. Thanks.

Also I should of stated that it was a B744.

[Luke Chittock]

[Stefan Perkas]

Afternoon all,

SQ219 is being operated by a B77-300 tonight, instead of the B772ER. It will be an SY* block. You can eliminate 9V-SYF as it operated SQ231-232 and 9V-SYK as it operated SQ237-238 this morning to Melbourne.

[Peter Agatsiotis]

Please let it be SYJ!!!:p:p

[phil.l]

SYL would also be good.

[Lee G]

Sorry Peter - SYB

[Peter Agatsiotis]

Yes Lee, just checked my SBS.
