March Noteworthy Movements!

[Jayden Laing]

First noteworthy movement for the new month was VH-TJW (no titles & no roo on the tail) ferrying out to Apia as QF6027. It departed runway 16R!!

[Shayne G]

VH-TJW is continuing on to HNL from Apia. It appears to be ferrying to somewhere in the US for storage.

These QF 734s, 763s and B744s are starting to drop like flies! :(

[Stefan Perkas]

Afternoon all,

Looking at flightradar24 VH-OJT inbound as QF6022. I presume arrving back from Guangzhou and in the new livery.

[Jayden Laing]

Best photo I could grab of TJW this morning before she ferried out.

[Jim M]

According to ACARS 16 right.com QF108 that arrived this morning was operated by
A380 VH-OQI. This is a bit unusual for this flight,anyone know why?

Cheers
Jim

[Rowan McKeever]

G'day Jim

Looks like there was no QF11 out of SYD on Wed and no QF12 scheduled into SYD today, from QF website. So assume they operated the single service as QF107/108 because of the JFK tag?

Cheers
Rowan

[Jim M]

Thanks for that Rowan,it makes sense now.

Cheers
Jim

Special movement today high up in the sky, big round yellow orange looking thing
Rego: SUN, finally I can get some photos.....

[Sarah C]

Rego: SUN, finally I can get some photos.....

Movement being the key word - it will probably be gone by in a few hours!

[Jaryd stock]

For a real movement, ANZ 119 is ZK-OKO 777-319/ER arriving 2pm...

[Brad Varney]

VH-SUN left about half an hour ago I think. :(

[NeilP]

It's in for further maintenance. My source tells me it will be replaced for a few days by G-RAIN...

[Shayne G]

We should have Monarch 752 due in sometime this evening, reg should be G-MONJ.



Cheers to Lloyd for heads up:

[lloyd fox]

1730 your time Shayne.

Cheers.

[Shayne G]

Thanks Lloyd, just saw it on radar now inbound to Sydney. :)

[Lee G]

Estimated 1010 departure on Monarch tomorrow, also Korean is HL7495 (Welcome to Korea)

[Stefan Perkas]

Morning all,

Both planefinder and libhomeradar confirm that CZ325/326 today 7/3/12 is being operated A330-200 B-6531.

Looking at 16right. the aircraft has visited once before on 11-11-11 as CZ325/326.

This is not a common one to visit Australia, it is mainly seen on Auckland flights. The A332's that visit Australia (mainly Melbourne) are B-6056/6057/6058 & 6059.

[Brad Varney]

Hawaiian 451 is due in at 10:30pm! No chance that it'll make it out before curfew, so you'll see it depart in daylight tomorrow. :)

[Jaryd stock]

Here's a shot leaving today for somewhere...Actually I thought it was going back to NZAA, can someone confirm this or not please?

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7067/6960593297_c26738ced8_z.jpg

[Shayne G]

Yep went back to NZAA.

[Jaryd stock]

Brad can you let me know where your info came from, Hawaiian 451 is due in at 6:45pm tonight....
And thanks Shayne..

[Rowan McKeever]

Hi Jaryd - SYD and HA websites both show a scheduled arrival for HA451 of 1920L and estimated arrival of 2221L. HA website is optimistic showing HA452 departing at 2245L tonight!! (SYD website shows 2255L)

[Jaryd stock]

That's ok just wondering, info that I was given was for 19:00 arrival thats all...

[Brad Varney]

Brad can you let me know where your info came from, Hawaiian 451 is due in at 6:45pm tonight....
And thanks Shayne..

Hey Jaryd, this is where I got my info from, http://www.flightstats.com/go/FlightStatus/flightStatusByFlight.do?airline=HA&flightNumber=451&departureDate=2012-03-06&utm_source=airlineInformationAndStatus&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=co-op hasn't been updated for 160 minutes apparently, so the arrival time could've changed. Nice pic of the Monarch 757. :)

[Jaryd stock]

Thanks Brad, reason I asked is I'm trying to get out for some 763 shots before daylight saving finishes in a couple weeks, considering HAL will be sending A330's from middle of year...

[Rowan McKeever]

G'day Jaryd. Was more suggesting that a 24 min turn for an international 767 was a bit of a stretch as opposed to anything else. Just checked SYD website and it's showing as ETA 2205L and ETD 2255L. Haha 50 min I can almost believe!

[Brad Varney]

Crap! :eek: 2255, wander if it'll make it out or not.
No worries Jaryd, i'm trying to get some photos of them as well, mostly the winglet one's.
It's petty hard for me to see Hawaiian. :( Shame they wont come in an hour earlier when daylight saving ends. eg 1820

A very well down job by the crew, ground, ect I bet they were pushing the passengers onto the plane :D haha
I wander if an A330 could've done a turnaround as fast as that?

[Rowan McKeever]

According to HA and SYD websites HA452 departed SYD at 2257L, having arrived at 2203L. Pretty decent effort!!

Edit: just heard it on radio and definitely made it out. Sounded a lot like an Aussie pilot.

[Blake Riley]

11.06PM Hawaiian just departed 16R

[Jayden Laing]

Morning all,
EY450/451 is operated by A6-ETJ! This is a brand new 77W for EY & its first visit to SYD.

[Sarah C]

Obviously a lot of weather issues today but QF50 from Auckland diverted to Richmond this morning.

[Tim Bowrey]

[Jayden Laing]

I must have missed that post this morning Tim.... my apologies

[Greg McDonald]

Apparently Newcastle has an unscheduled visitor today....

A QANTAS 747 flight carrying 220 passengers and running low on fuel has been forced to land at a regional airport this morning.

The flight, en route from Hong Kong to Sydney, was diverted to Newcastle’s Williamtown Airport where it had to be refuelled at the RAAF base.

Airport spokesman David Nye told the ABC it was unusual to have such a large plane land in Newcastle.

"There's been a few that have come through over the years but you'd be lucky to see one more than once every two or three years," Mr Nye said.

"It parked on the RAAF base side of the airfield and has been refuelled there."

Qantas spokesman Luke Enright said half a dozen domestic and international flights were affected by this morning's torrential downpours but all had since returned to Kingsford Smith Airport in Sydney.

[Grahame Hutchison]

[Shayne G]

EY454/455 operated by A340-500 A6-EHB today.

[Shayne G]

Looks like ANZ119 being operated by All Blacks 77W ZK-OKQ.

3rd visit now, but probably last to Sydney for foreseeable future.

[Tony G]

Just seen it come past landing on 07. Any idea on a take off time Shayne. Thank you.

[Shayne G]

It will operate the ANZ118 back to Auckland at 15:30. ;)

[George G]

Thats awesome!!

Shame my girlfriend wanted to spend time at my house today...couldn't get down there!!

:D

[Tim Bowrey]

EY454/455 operated by A340-500 A6-EHB today.

A6-EHB again tomorrow although on the EY450/451 service. A nice chance to get the -500 in daylight for those who may not have already.

**Also for anyone out tomorrow, a member of the forum is flying out on SQ242(Mon 12/3) if someone could shoot it and post he would appreciate it!

[Rowan McKeever]

Hi folks

BNE website is showing QF6717 departing for SYD this arvo (1330L) and QF6716 returning this evening (1830L)... this indicates 1600L arrival and 1800L departure at SYD and seems likely (to me anyways) it would be the B717 VH-NXN that has been doing route proving in BNE the last couple of weeks.

Would be interesting to see whether this is a B717 and, if so, whether it might be route in anticipation of some upcoming SYD-based B717 ops?

Edit: SYD site shows both flights as QLink but with 1635 arrival and 1730 departure... Q400??

Cheers
Rowan

[Mark T]

QF6717 is showing on the Brisbane Airport site as cancelled but still showing with an arrival time on the Sydney Airport site of 16:35.

[Jayden Laing]

CX23 today is operated by B748F, B-LJF. Due in at 1050am.

[Rowan McKeever]

Hey folks! QF6717 seems to be on (again?) today. BNE site shows it departed at 1225L with SYD site showing arrival expected at 1449L (scheduled 1520L). Anyone know anything about this flight?? Ta, Rowan

[Shayne G]

Q400 unfortunately Rowan.

[Rowan McKeever]

Thought it might be Shayne, thanks heaps. Flight time too long for a jet. Do you know if there's a planned return flight today as there was yesterday (before the rotation was cancelled)? Cheers!

Edit: just heard a "QLink 716D" on radio departing SYD - heading for BNE?

[J Brown]

QF62xx flights are 717's

[Tim Bowrey]

It was VH-LQF and wouldn't you expect to hear the rego used as the callsign for the QF 717's?

[Stefan Perkas]

Thought it might be Shayne, thanks heaps. Flight time too long for a jet. Do you know if there's a planned return flight today as there was yesterday (before the rotation was cancelled)? Cheers!

Edit: just heard a "QLink 716D" on radio departing SYD - heading for BNE?

It departed for Adelaide, VH-QOY was the rego. It then departed adelaide for kalgoorlie and Perth. beleived to be the 3rd Q400 to be based there.

[Zac M]

Is there any rotation of those Q400s in Perth?

[Rowan McKeever]

Thanks guys!

Stefan that's interesting... when are they likely to announce the schedules for the third Q400 in PER then??

Tim is that normal with the 717s to use the rego as the callsign? Was trying to listen to some 717s on liveatc this arvo but obviously picked a lousy time as there were none, not even in PER!!

[Shayne G]

Tomorrows Korean Air KE121/122 is being operated by HL7714 which is a B772.

[Stefan Perkas]

Thanks guys!

Not sure what routes it will do. I am still trying to confirm whether it is a3rd based aircraft or a swapover for VH-LQD or LQG.

Yes I believe the B717's always use their rego as their callsign.

[David C]

Today's KE 121/122 is being operated by B772 , HL 7714 ..

Look on previous page of this thread...

[Tim Bowrey]

Brindabella Airlines' newest Metro VH-OZV is parked opposite Bay 34 wearing an interesting black and white hybrid scheme with the old Airtex paint with a FQ logo on the nose.

[Chen W]

tomorrow amd sunday MU561 will be operated by B-6100

[Jayden Laing]

Chris,
Anything with NEW titles, NEW rego's (1st & 2nd time visitors), NEW decals whatever it may be that has changed in its appearance IS NOTEWORTHY...... An aircraft running over 12+ hours isnt noteworthy!! All aircraft run late at some stage.

Just saying....

[Shayne G]

Jayden, an exemption to the running late rule is if it is an aircraft that always visits in darkness but is delayed enough to see it in daytime ie, AAE 733s.

This thread is for anything noteworthy like first visits, charters, Ad hocs, equipment changes, night visitors in daylight, rare one off visitors, new colour schemes/titles/livery, special livery visits (preferably overseas visitors) etc.

Obviously somethings can still be noted that don't meet those areas just need to use common sense.

I'll admit I miss the old forum style though ;)

[Tim Bowrey]

At first I thought the same, why would this be noteworthy? It's a daily flight always A346?

In fact tomorrow's VS200 is deffinatly noteworthy! G-VEIL is the first A340-600 to wear the new scheme just released yesterday and I think looks fantastic.

In Jayden and Shaynes defence, Chris you probably should have mentioned why it was noteworthy.

[Shayne G]

Cheers Tim, I saw the new livery today on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8v-rgGAl5bk

Jayden and I were responding to Chris D's original post, he did not state it was coming here just to look out for it for the future. He edited his post several times afterwards like per usual. :D

[Rowan McKeever]

Looks great... why couldn't they have sent it on Wednesday so I could've seen it!! Hope to see some more pics from tomorrow :)

Taking a bath on arrival this morning.....

[Jaryd stock]

Looking at the BOM website the rain seems to clearing out to sea, so hopefully by Arvo cloud should have lifted a bit....

[Stefan Perkas]

Evening all,

Another forum has stated that World Airways MD11F N381WA is due ex. Kuala Lumpur at around 2215. It is operating on behalf of Etihad Cargo as 'Etihad 9876'.

[Brad Varney]

So that's why there's an Etihad 9876 on the YSSY site.
Thanks Stefan

[Shayne G]

Departs back to KUL tomorrow at 9:30am

[Tim Bowrey]

World MD11 just landed headed for Bay 3.

[Shayne G]

The World Airways MD-11F departure time has pushed back to 10:30am now.

..more time for anyone that sleeps in ;)

[Tim Bowrey]

EY9877 just received clearance for HKG.

Has since departed.

[Stefan Perkas]

Afternoon all,

New JQ A320 VH-VFF entered service today operating JQ506/509 MEL-SYD-MEL.

[Brad Varney]

Jetgo VH-JTG ERJ 135 landed 16L about half an hour ago,
I think it's at the GA.

[Shayne G]

Tomorrows EY450/451 being operated by A6-EHA A340-500.

They seem to be becoming more common now but still noteworthy to some I presume..

[Jaryd stock]

Noteworthy to me Shayne haven't got a proper shot yet of one, plus not long till Etihad get rid of them...

[Peter Agatsiotis]

Air China today is B-6540 operated CA173.

[Peter Agatsiotis]

[Stefan Perkas]

Air China today is B-6540 operated CA173.

Very strange that it did CA173/176. Normally CA173 stays all day to do CA174, even if CA175/176 operates on the same day.

[Hendra Barnes]

I need to take the day off work to catch one of these gems.... Perhaps one day...

[NeilP]

CX23 today is B-LJF - a B747-8F.

Mentioned in case anyone wants to see it at 10:50am today.

Careful Chris, you'll have the "Noteworthy Police" out again...;)

[Hendra Barnes]

Looking at the radar, it appears there is a MASKargo operated by their B744F coming our way; 9M-MPR as MAS6203.

I don't think this airframe is a regular lately, as we have been seeing the A330F.

Anyone know what time she will fly back? I would like to catch her in my camera as I haven't done so, so far.

[Hendra Barnes]

Chris,

-MPR / MAS6203 is nearing Goulburn right now, so the scheduled time above that you posted won't reflect this flight.

I don't know, there could be a bug on my smart phone. :p

I might take the chance and go down the airport this arvo, hoping to catch her take off on the return flight.

[Raymond Z]

Very strange that it did CA173/176. Normally CA173 stays all day to do CA174, even if CA175/176 operates on the same day.

Yeah CA175 was delayed by 3 hours leaving Shanghai Pudong (PVG); no idea why but consequently CA173 formed CA176, while late running CA175 formed the evening CA174. Lucky for Air China it had two services yesterday! :)

[Grahame Hutchison]

[lloyd fox]

You have a 767-200 in this WED night.

CXB 015 from SEL at 2100 out Sat at 1010 to CMB.

Can't find a airline for this code .

[Shayne G]

:D Thanks Lloyd,

I'm thinking it is VIP operator Comlux? They have a B762 BBJ aswell.

[David C]

Comlux ICAO code is CLA not CXB ..

Dave C

[NathanJ]

This photo (http://www.airliners.net/photo/Untitled-(Comlux-Aviation)/Boeing-767-2DX-ER/2040023/M/) from airliners.net lists CXB015 as the callsign in the remarks section...

[J Brown]

CXB = Comlux Aruba

[Shayne G]

Looks like Korean Air KE121/122 is operated by B772 HL7733 which wears SkyTeam livery..

[Sarah C]

VH-OEG has departed as the QF27, first flight to Santiago today

[NathanJ]

NZ105 is 744 ZK-NBV this evening.

[Tony G]

Good timing by posting this at 7:47:)

[NathanJ]

:eek: *head explodes* :cool:

[Shayne G]

I don't have a time but expect a very quick turn around, looks to be subbing for another aircraft and the flight is already about 3 hours late.

Too bad it's not in daylight, Air New Zealand don't fly them here now and last time I checked they don't plan to! I hope that changes though.

[Rory Delaney]

Earlier this month, i heard that British Airways stopped their London-Bangkok-Sydney (which was a 747-400)
On flightradar24 it shows BA15, London-Singapore-Sydney ( G-BNLI ) is a 747-400 One World Livery. It will arrive in the morning in Sydney.
Isn't the Singapore route the 777-200ER?

[Andrew Coggan]

Hey Rory,

Refer to this thread for details about British Airways changes to Sydney. http://yssyforum.net/board/showthread.php?t=7003

[Grahame Hutchison]

Hi Chris, I only setup the new ADS-B Receiver yesterday, and the pickup was definitely B-LGJ in the log (B-LGC above is a typo on my part). Not sure if that is a transmission or database issue.

[Michael Mak]

Did anyone manage to get a shot at G-VEIL in the new VS livery?

[Peter Agatsiotis]

What ads-b receiver are you using Grahame?

Your first entry shows the hexcode for C-17 05-5151.
I was extremely fortunate to have a good look around this a/c (including climbing up to the hatch above the rest area ( behind the cockpit)) as a parting gift from my colleagues at RAAF Richmond on my last day there in July 2007.

The initial plan was to get on board a C-5 Galaxy that was due in that day but that went tech at Guam so just lucky the C-17 was there. I did log the C-5 on the following Monday.

CXB015 opd by P4-CLA is currently at FL20 on its way to Canberra. Apparently some fog in Canberra this morning so not sure if that is what has delayed the aircraft a little.

Nice Jay good shots, is it parked in favourable place for photos?

[Jayden Laing]

Parked right up at fence at the GA facing South. Security was tight just like the IL-96 was when it came in so be mindful if there are security hanging around.

[Rowan McKeever]

Great shots Jayden! I'm guessing since CXB015 was carrying the President of Gabon it would be no accident that "Envoy 99" landed about 10 mins ahead, presumably carrying Wayne Swan?

[Donald H]

What ads-b receiver are you using Grahame

Given that 16R is advertising AirNav I'd guess that he may have picked up a freebie from them. Just guessing! :-) .

AirNav's inaccurate database is notorious in some circles.

[Tim Bowrey]

Something we might keep on the lookout for is JAL's first 777-200/ER in the new scheme JA711J.

[Peter Agatsiotis]

Didn't know about that Donald; I was one of the first to get the Radarbox in Oz and still use it in a seperate room that picks up a/c very close to home which is easier to monitor than the SBS which has between 30-40 a/c at once.

[Peter Agatsiotis]

Anybody know how long the B762 will be around?; will try and get there in the morning.

[NathanJ]

CZ301 is A332 B-6057 this evening.

[Stefan Perkas]

Morning all,

Aerolineas Argentinas today is being operated by A340-300 LV-CSE

I think this is a 1st visit for this rego into Sydney.

[Donald H]

Didn't know about that Donald.

About what? That Airnav were giving away 50 boxes or the database saga or both? Amongst all the other sagas!

[Peter Agatsiotis]

About giving them away although I did get an e-mail saying they were, but only to locations where they weren't getting feeds etc. Planefinder are also in on the act (I send data to Planefinder through PlanePlotter)

Yes there are issues with their database but only where they are not getting updates, e.g they still show VH-EBR as a B742!!

[Andrew Coggan]

An Air Italy 737-700 is over Western NSW heading to CBR. I doubt it, but maybe we will see it here :p
