[Stefan Perkas]

Morning all,

There is a DC8-60 due from Singapre at around 1100. F/n is MAG212. Not sure of Airline or reg.

[Tony G]

Giddi up!!! Thank you:D:D:D

[NeilP]

Does anyone know how long it's here for? And why?
Nigel?

[Nigel C]

Not long.
Horse transport.
You rang???:D

Stefan, there has been a fair bit mentioned on this in the Noisy Jets thread http://www.yssyforum.net/board/showthread.php?t=5145 . As stated there it's an African International bird which was meant to turn up 2 days ago.

[Peter Agatsiotis]

Yee of little faith, 9G-AXB DC8-63 of Air Charter Express (as per AB2008) on SBS now. When is Stefan wrong??

[Paul A]

Looks like it flew over Hornsby about 5 minutes ago

Couldn't hear it, but it was blowing a bit of crap from the engines

Gotta miss that :)

[Jayden Laing]

9G-AXB DC8-63 has just landed on 16R

[Maikha Ly]

Any idea what time it's due to leave? Might make it out there if I leave soonish :)

[Paul A]

This is the best I got as it flew over (I wasn't expecting it, so wasn't prepared)

My apologies to those who can do better :)

[phil.l]

It just got here and you want it to go already.

[Mark T]

Nice shot Mark.

[Maikha Ly]

Very nice shot of an awesome classic!

Was it a 16R arrival today?

Thanks Maikha - yes it was a 16R arrival. It was a nice surprise as we had expected the African International DC8 earlier in the week.

Im just love the second life cargo jets, and Miami is great for old time cargo action, DC-8, DC-10, B-727 etc. I had a great couple of days there a few years back, with clear blue Florida skies. In particularl, I like the look of the LAN 767 and Arrow DC-8.

Yes Chris it is still here. Both the DC-8 & the A318 are both parked over at the general aviation area. However the A318 is blocking a decent view of the DC-8 as it is parked directly in front of it.

[NeilP]

My efforts

[Tony G]

A few of mine. It was quite a retro a day. I like to call it RETRO Saturday.:D

I like to thank Nigel for the additional post and Stefan for the follow up. Was a buzz to see a classic back in Sydney. I still had a smile on my face even when i went shopping with the Mrs, I never smile when I shop with the Mrs:p.

One thing I have to say, it was so quiet. Might be a little louder on take off.

[Maikha Ly]

Tony G, you da man! Top work getting shots of the classics in Sydney.

Seems today was a good day for some exotic metal, DC-8, the Classic Jumbo, and an A318 from Cairns. Now I regret not heading out today in lieu of.... housework :confused:

[Nigel C]

I like to thank Nigel for the additional post

And you thought I was joking....

[Lachlan C]

got a video of it flying over turramurra so if anybody is intrested i will upload it

[Nigel C]

Was meant to depart at 0600, but that didn't happen. I think they're waiting for a northerly wind so they can take off on 34L and wake Albanese up.

It'll be going to Perth initially.

[Benny Zheng]

It's flight number is MAG 213 estimated time of departure to Perth is 1001.

[BernieL]

What runway is it likely to depart from?

[Nigel C]

Probably 16R...that's if the crew don't run out of hours in the meantime...

For probably the last DC-8 operation to Sydney, it's certainly making it a comical one to remember. :rolleyes:

[Paul Hunter]

Should be away shortly.

Planned Sydney-Perth-Mauritius.

Regards.

[Tony G]

Nice shot taking off Chris, considering the down pour. Funny enough the rain stopped soon after it had gone:rolleyes:

[Tony G]

And you thought I was joking....

Haha. Your not the type of person to joke around around Nigel :rolleyes:.
