[phil.l]

Can anyone confirm the rego of Southern B747 today? please.

[Noel White]

Phil, not sure if this is the one you are after but Air Mobility operated the MAS 6123 flight into Sydney today, rego N783SA.

[phil.l]

Yep that will be the one ,thanks Noel.

[Peter Agatsiotis]

Probably a first? but we have 2 Southern Air 747's in today.
N761SA arr around 7:30 and N783SA arrived a short time ago.

[phil.l]

Great shot Andrew!

Phil, there is no regular schedule for the Southern Air a/c. Sometimes we get 2 Maskargo planes in one day and only one Southern Air for a week so it must depend on availability at KUL (as well as demand) as to which a/c we get.

Initially we had a pattern of SOO a/c on Tuesday's and Saturday's but it changes each week.

Any chance of a Southern Air on tommorrows (Tuesday) MH6201 into SYD?
I've done four x 5 hour round trips to catch one so far, with zero luck!

A change of luck sure would be nice. LoL
Cheers John;)

John,

MH Kargo are a funny airline, they just rock up when they want to.

There looks to be MH6201 and MH6203 into Sydney tomorrow. 6201 is due at 0645 and 6203 at 0915. One of those I think will be a MH Cargo B744 (9M-MPR OR S), the other i presume will be a Southern Air. Not sure which is which.

MH6201 goes back to KL, MH6203 continues to MEL. 6203 may be the one which will be delayed probably to Wednesday morning,

But then the next point I raise is either 1 will turn up and other delayed, both turn up or both get delayed.

Hopethis gives you an idea.

[John Thoroughgood]

Many thanks Stefan.
Much appreciated. BTW, I do like your summary! LoL
I'll get up early, check Flightstats and decide from there.
Cheers John

John,

It looks as though MH6203 will be operated by a B744 (either MPR or S). That is due at around 1000.

MH6201 which I presume will be a Southern Air is now due into Sydney 0615 tomorrow morning. a delay of 24hours.

[Brian Wilkes]

Melbourne should get that delayed service tomorrow morning!

[Stefan Perkas]

Not sure on that Brian. On Sydney webiste is says MH6201 is due to arrive from KUL at 0615 and depart 0845 as MH6202 back to KUL tomorrow

MH6203 the B74Y that arrived into Sydney today is due to continue onto MEL.

SO you might not get a Southern Air this week.

Ahh! Heartbreak again!
Got up at 0330, did the deed again, and sure enough, come home without the aforementioned target. Thats 1900kms so far! LoL!
Think I'll stay home and cuddle da wifey;)
Cheers fellas
