Unusually low QF 744?

[Jim M]

Just got a quick glimpse of what looked like a QF 744 heading in for 16R over West Pymble a little lower than normal. It was around 11.15 but i cant think of any QF 744 arrivals around this time.

Anyone have any info on what it was??

Thanks Chris, i thought about QF8, however as you rightly said it was already on the ground. Upon checking, I found it arrived at 10am,so that wasn't it. I can only assume it was a repositioning flight....

There was an Air Pacific 747 on approach around that time doing a visual approach so that probably explains if he was a little bit lower than normal.

Looking at Webtrak Sydney (http://webtrak.bksv.com/syd), there was an Air Pacific 744 operating FJ911 which was on approach for 16R at around 1115. Could that have been it?

EDIT: ^WHAT JASON SAID. Hahaha :)

Checked Webtrack for 1110L to 1120L, and Air Pacific was the only B747 on approach. It turned left onto a 16R final overhead Pymble at 1115L.

www.16Right.com (http://www.16Right.com) ACARS picked up the aircraft oceanic at 1039L

Thanks all,my view was obstructed by trees. Thought it was QF which is why I was puzzled.
