Asiana 744 to Sydney

[Stefan Perkas]

Morning all,

Due from Auckland at around 1100 is an Asiana 744 HL7428. It is carrying the PM of Korea. It is usinf f/n AAR6057.

Any idea how long this a/craft will be in town for?

[matthew mcdonald]

On the Sydney Airport website it says Asiana 6507 departing at 09:30am tomorrow to Canberra?

[NickN]

Hope it gets parked at the GA, although highly unlikely.

It was parked there when i went passed at about 11am.

Not a regular flight, sure, but:

Sydney-Canberra must surely be one extremely short sector for a 747.

Not the best day to take photos, and seeing that it went full length on 34L then turned and taxied bast the Domestic Terminal , the International was not the place to be.

At least I got a photo of it.:D

Great to see it in the 'NEW' colour scheme...

Thanks Lee for the photo.

Brought back memories of my early days at KSA seeing the building in the background to the left of the a/c tail. Building 60 was the airport administration office with the control tower on the top floor. I think this was the second tower built (pre WWII?) which will make the current tower No.5.

The DCA logo and date? can be seen on the external wall of Building 60 from the western end of the domestic multi-level car park.

Still parked at GA with one set of stairs at the back. HL7428 is the rego.

I think I'll spin past after work and grab some happy snaps.

Now sitting over at the old RAAF base at Fairbain, adjacent to the Kuwaiti A310-300 9K-ALD (hybrid Kuwait Airways/State of Kuwait colourscheme) in Canberra for the soccer game tonight.

[John Thoroughgood]

Is the 747 staying around in Canberra until tomorrow (Friday) afternoon per chance?
Might skip over after work if so.
Cheers John

On Sydney Acars around 0820 the Asiana 744 is enroute to HALIM airport in Indonesia.
