YSSY July 20

[Zac M]

Is anyone aware of any unusual/new/interesting aircraft coming in on Wednesday? I am planning on heading out to the mound during my short visit.

[Jason H]

VH-OEB will be arriving as QF108 and VH-OJU will be arriving as QF2. VH-OJO will be in around 2pm from JNB. Wunala was back in service today after a month and a half out in Avalon, but will not be in SYD tomorrow. A6-EHJ will also be in as EY450.

[Brad Varney]

Hi, when will Wunala come to sydney next? if you know.
thanks :)

Hope you have a car Zac it's pouring here, Wunula left yesterday doing the SFO run I think saw it over cronulla at about 2:15 pm.. Korean 772 is skyteam HL7733 today also, and Etihad is A6-EHJ F1 livery. Aswell as N127UA new livery post merger which haven't been in for a while.

OEJ operated QF107 (SYD-LAX-JFK) yesterday. The QF73/74 to SFO was terminated recently about the same time the QF7/8 was introduced.
OEJ should be back tomorrow Brad as QF108 although they may swap a/c at LAX.

[Tim Bowrey]

Get with the times Jaryd the SFO flight is long gone ;)

VH-VZO - Brand New QANTAS 737 Sporting A Special Scheme

Just on a side note how long is the Comlux Aviation A318 (9H-AFL) in town for i saw she was parked over near the QANTAS Jet Base but there was no way to get a good photo of her...Bloody Weather !!, none the less cool to see though

Enjoy

Brad,

i just checked schedules for Korean, it shows that the B744's start on Friday. Tomorrow will be the last B772 flight.

[Brad Varney]

OK will the 7772's come back are they seasonal?
thanks

By the looks of their schedule it is B744's until the end of April 2012. But that may change in the coming months.
