Strategic A330 on appr to SYD

[Peter Agatsiotis]

VH-SSA is on appr to SYD at FL160.

[Max C]

Looks like it's heading to BNE now.

[Gerard M]

VH-SSA is on approach to Sydney at the moment, interestingly as ASY072. Anyone know where CS-TMT is and why SSA is operating this flight?

[Mir Zafriz]

CS-TMT enroute to PER.

[phil.l]

Any idea if VH-SSA is overnighting?

[J Brown]

Strategic recieved their AOC, and as such from today -SSA is taking over the mideast runs.

CS-TMT isn't using "Aussie" callsign for its flight over to Perth, so I would assume PER is its first stop on its trip home to Portugal

[Peter Agatsiotis]

Phil, SSA is airborne heading out via Richmond. Still ASY072.

[Marty H]

CS-TMT departed MEL @ 15:50

VH-SSA completed the final CASA AOC proving flight from Brisbane to Honiara and return on Wednesday 23rd September and gained their Australian AOC on the 29th September. Strategic received their French AOC only a month earlier.

VH-SSA with predominately do the Middle East contract for the Australian Defence Force.

VH-SSA named 'Outback' arrived today in Sydney as ASY072 from BNE and went to bay 56. Quite a nice plane, certainly looking forward to photographing it more.

Great photos guys. Although i think its a very bland livery, the only bit i like is the wing tips really.

[Dan Hammond]

I actually dont mind the livery, great pics guys

[Marty H]

VH-SSA is now back in MEL outside the JH hangars.

[lloyd fox]

I agree Dan .

[J Brown]

For what its worth, A333 CS-TMT has gone from flying for the Aussie Defence Force, to the Belgian equivalent.

[Steve Jones]

How appropriate. As a dual Belgian/Australian citizen, CS-TMT continues to serve my country(ies)!

[Gerard M]

Does anyone know what flight VH-SSA is operating tonight. Its just passing north of the ACT with flight number/callsign "AGC1"? Looks like its heading into Sydney?

Any help appreciated

Cheers

[Marty H]

Was doing taxi tests yesterday around MEL minus the left winglet:eek:

[Simon C]

AGC001 Route: MEL-SYD-TSV-DRW-KWI

[Gerard M]

Thanks Simon. Looks like its departed Sydney as ASY80 now.

[Dave Parer]

I can confirm that VH-SSA did make a visit to Townsville in the early hours of this morning;

04-Nov 00:01 7C5DA8 VH-SSA A332 ASY80

04-Nov 01:20 7C5DA8 VH-SSA A332 ASY80

[S.Greaves]

It arrived in Darwin yesterday at around midday, departed about an hour later. Not listed on the arr/dep board in the terminal.

[Gerard M]

Arrived again into SYD as AGC1 and departed a short whilst later as ASY82 to the north presumably on the same sort of flight plan. Does anyone know what agc1 stands for?

[Ray Ellis]

Hi everyone.Just looking at VH-SSA on my SBS doing ASY82.What i would like to know if someone can tell me where i can get my hands on a Stategic Airlines operator flag.

Regards Ray Ellis

[Patrick R.]

Isn't ASY 'Aussie'? Ie, the RAAF callsign used when flying overseas?

Perhaps today it was an ADF charter to somewhere?

[lloyd fox]

The aircraft sits in BNE between the sorties.

AGC is their 3 letter code.This was used on their AOC flight as well .

[Gerard M]

Thanks Lloyd, thats what i was after.
