Rich people's & other interesting gear W/B 25/7/10

[Nigel C]

There's a French Air Force (Armée de l'Air) CASA CN-235 parked in the GA. Tail no. 066. 52 ID on the side.

There's also a Cessna 185A VH-SLC parked up. It's not often we get a single engine tail wheel landing here. It looks like it might be used for mustering, as there's bubble windows on both sides. Based at Moree.

Update: N714EU taxiing for departure 16L 0750

Hey Nigel,
Do you (or anyone else) happen to know what the aircraft parking fees for YSSY would be. I imagine that it wouldnt be overly cheap since its owned by Macquarie Bank. I was just wondering as you mentioned the VH-SLC which is a Cessna 185A being parked there. The owner must have some very important business in Sydney :D:D

[Nigel C]

As per the Sydney Airport website http://www.sydneyairport.com.au/SACL/DownloadDocument.ashx?DocumentID=1048 the charges for Farmer Brown (or the Aircair company who own it) are:

$60 for take off/landing
$110/day for parking in the GA
All prices include GST
Prices correct as of 1 July 2010

Cheaper than parking at short term.

[Nigel C]

SLC has departed, as has the Froggy Air Force.

Brindabella Airlines J-41 VH-TAI arrived and has just taxied for departure.

Afternoon all,

There is a Sharp Metro due from Olymic Dam at around 1800 as 'SHARP 461'. Also the vincient Aviation DHC8 ZK-VAC also due around 1745.

[Grant Smith]

Just back from International, curious to know if anyone knows who the identity of the dignatory that arrived today circa 1400hrs..

Road blocks etc were in effect with my driver taking evasive action to avoid a collision with a NSWPF motorcycle...

Judging by the escort accompanying the vehicle (2 NSWPF Motorcycles, 1 HWP XR8 and a VW Mini Van) they probably weren't massively important but as mentioned earlier just curious...

[Nigel C]

VH-VHD arrived and parked on Dom-6.

[Stefan Perkas]

Morning all,

Due from Kahului at around 1230 is Gulfstream 5 N914J.

[Nigel C]

This one ran a touch late and arrived about 10 minutes ago.

N516QS has just departed.

N714EU is taxiing now for departure to Darwin today. It will end up in Singapore tomorrow I believe.

VH-GTI Oxford Aviation Academy C90 King Air touched down 10 mins ago.. from Moorabbin

[Stefan Perkas]

Morning all,

There is a Gulfstream 5 due from Mauritius at around 1400, f/n is 'CBJ886'. Not sure who owns this one. The code CBj is coming up as CaribJet. So it may be something exotic.

[Peter Agatsiotis]

The Gulf 550 was Deerjet B-8108 (5120).

Pity it didn't arrive while I was there earlier.
At the GA this morning was:

N888GX Global
N18WF Global
N914J Gulf 5
N127DK Gulf 4
N36GV Gulf 5
VH-VLT Legacy
ZK-VAC DHC8 Vincent

[Stefan Perkas]

There is another Gulftsream 5 due at around 2000. This time from Haikou Meilan International Airport. F/n is CBJ801.

So i dare say it will be another Deerjet, like th one this arvo.

It is arriving around 45mins after the Hainan Airlines A340-600 which is also due from Haikou at around 1915 as CHH7931.

[Peter Agatsiotis]

Thanks again Stefan.

The '2nd' Deerjet is on PP at FL450. Reg is B-8092 GLF5 (510)
(On Mode-S the flight no./callsign is 'AVIONICS'!)
