Gday guys,

Departure time looks to have changed to 11.20am. Heat haze might be a big factor now for photos.

Cheers

Sydney Airport website now says the new estimated departure time is 1120.

It is over at the remote stand next to a Fed-EX MD11 at the moment. The MD is blocking any photo opportunity if anyone was at the mound this morning.

The Bahrain Grand "Prix" 2010 word seems to be missing the ix letters on the starboard side.

Probably asking the question in the wrong forum....but is the A340 too big to land in Wellington. Clearly it has done it but i was under the impression that WLG had a short runway?

Brandon Giacomin

Just checked wikipedia and there runway is only 2026 metres!
But according to jetspotters there was only 44 pax on board.
