New Traffic Today

[Tim Bowrey]

I was only spotting for about 40mins before work but it was the greatest 40min block of my life. Great to see some exciting stuff in Sydney!

Dear tim,

This was the second PR 744 in two days into Sydney as last Saturday's was a 744 as well RP-C8168. Both iof these came from Melbourne.

[Erik H. Bakke]

Where was that Philippine 747 photo shot from?
Perhaps it is just the framing and perspective, but I just can't see it, and it looks like a great spot.

[matthew mcdonald]

I believe that the spot was on top of the bridge in between the Virgin Blue and Qantas departures terminals right in front of the Dash 8's. He had to go to work in T3 yesterday so spotted before that.

Tim, please correct me if I am wrong.

[Tim Bowrey]

Yeah if you walk West from T2 up top, you get to a little staircase which gives you a pretty good view for 16R arrivals.

Just intrested, what lens did you use to capture these?

Camera : Canon 400D Lens : Sigma 50-500mm f/4-6.3 EX DG HSM

Says it down the bottom of the photo of the photo info.

[Lee G]

Tim, sorry I didn't see the info on the webpage.

Great shots by the way!

[Norman Box]

Great Shots Indeed do you find that is the ideal lens config to park on an that EOS for shooting Aircraft Photos???

Personally I love my 50-500mm because it gives the focal length required from any place in Sydney. The 100-400L is obviously alot better quality but at the Mound in the morning, you cannot full frame most aircraft which taxi along Charlie(The nearest taxiway). Hope this helps.

Tim are you using the Sigma 50-500mm lens? Also would anyone have any info on the PR 744's why they were here and will they return? :)

Steven, check out post 7 in this thread http://yssyforum.net/board/showpost.php?p=20559&postcount=7

B747-4F6 N753PR is due at 1045 today.

[Stefan Perkas]

Morning all,

Philippines is a A333 today.

B747-4F6 N753PR is due at 1045 today.

This is a little confusing with Stefan's post saying the flight was a 333? Was it actually a 333 or 744?

[Nigel C]

My information source has now changed, so I'm inclined to believe it's the A333 as per Stefan's post.

Thats correct PR 209 at YMML today was operated by an A330-300. It also seems that the 744 operates every second day or close to that
