June Noteworthy Movements

[NeilP]

Do we not have anything noteworthy yet for June?

Or has last months' shenanigans put paid to that?

[Jayden Laing]

Only noteworthy movement I am aware of is Eva Air operating a few A332 charters into SYD over the June/July period.

BR311 Arriving from Taipei at 9:50am with BR312 departing for Taipei at 10pm. First flight is due in 28th June 2012 & the last flight due to depart on 16th July 2012.


EDIT: Royal Jet 737BBJ, A6-DAS due in tomorrow morning at 6am from SIN as "ROJ04"

[Peter Agatsiotis]

Malaysia Airlines MH123/122 is being operated by B772 9M-MRM, not often we see the 772's in daylight!

[Stefan Perkas]

Morning all,

New Virgin B737-800 VH-YFL entered service this morning operating DJ912 BNE-SYD. It has sine departed to Adelaide as DJ408.

[Mark T]

There does appear to be a "sticky" for June flights/movements that is mostly being unused :-)

[Bernie P]

Hi Mark,

If you're referring to this thread (http://yssyforum.net/board/showthread.php?t=8274), that is for New Deliveries/First Flights, which is different to this thread... :D

[Mark T]

Hi Bernie

How right you are - wasn't thinking straight :)

While I am on here I noticed that there was a B737 A6-DAS that I saw on my Basestation yesterday. I believe it arrived in Syd just before 7am yesterday morning. It is a Royal Jet from UAE.

Cheers

President Obama is visiting Las Vegas tomorrow (June 7 local) and today (June 6 local) the C-17 carrying his motorcade arrived. I have attached a photo below. Excuse the poor quality. I heard the thing land and only just had enough time to take my phone out and take a photo from my office window.

[Morris Biondi]

Guys 9V-OTA will make her first appearance today for Scoot, she is running late, about 1:00pm.

[Hendra Barnes]

What time does she (9V-OTA) depart mate? Hope I can make it for departure.

[Brad Varney]

Should be sooner then 1600 as their turnaround time's 3 hours.

[Daniel Ayto]

Scheduled for 2.05pm departure at the moment.

LV-CSX is operating the delayed AR1182 service, due in at 3.05pm and out at 4.40pm.
I believe this is CSX first visit to Sydney?

[Andrew Coggan]

9V-OTA jst departed and yes Daniel I too believe it to be CSX first visit if not one of the first. B-6090 is taxiing to depart as CCA174D, an uncommon site to see in the arvo.

[Grahame Hutchison]

9V-OTA TZ0002 09/06/2012 12:47 Scoot B777-212(ER) Singapore-Sydney
9V-OTA TZ0001 09/06/2012 14:40 Scoot B777-212(ER) Sydney-Singapore

[Peter Agatsiotis]

Saw 9V-OTA overhead Richmond and thought it was running late.

Took a few pics as well as 9M-XXE o'head home earlier today.

[Morris Biondi]

I hope you all got some nice shots this afternoon, i couldn't make it, i was out and about, hence me not replying to the request for departure time. But it would have been great to be there.

[Morris Biondi]

I know it is probably old news now, but being Sunday i'm sure some of you will still be interested, a reliable source (my mate) tells me G-VEIL will be in tomorrow.

[Lee G]

Last flight of VH-OJP tomorrow - leaves as QF107 for LAX/JFK/LAX then off to KVDV

[Tim Bowrey]

Hawaiian Airlines flight HA452 from last night has been delayed until midday today. This is the first chance to catch the A330 in daylight in SYD. Rego N388HA

[Gerald D]

A Royal Jet has just left Christchurch.It is a 737 reg no.A6-DAS looks to be heading for Queenstown

[Andrew Coggan]

Tomorrow mornings UU951 is operated by 777-200ER F-ORUN instead of the usual 777-200LR. Obviously F-ORUN has visited before but not in recent times.

[Morris Biondi]

MAS should be a 777 today. 9M-MRN

[Paul f.]

MAS should be a 777 today. 9M-MRNNoteworthy:confused:MAS 777 are daily into SYD.

[Brad Varney]

Noteworthy:confused:MAS 777 are daily into SYD.
Not on the MH 122, only on the MH 141 which comes in at night.
Hard to see them during the day.

[callum bain]

Was on flight radar 24 this morning and noticed a RAAF A330 MRTT of the coast.
Does anyone know what it was doing there?

regards callum

[Morris Biondi]

Can we not go down this road again please.

I said today is a 777 not tonight, as Brad said it is not common for the 777 to do the daylight service, hence my post.

Info is shared for the benefit of others, so if only 1 person benefits from it by getting photos of it or even just seeing it or logging it, then IMO it is a noteworthy movement to that individual.

[Peter Agatsiotis]

Can anyone help with an unidentified Portugeuse a/c that went into Richmond around 1pm with an ADSB callsign of Reach 973?
At first I thought it was a different HiFly a/c doing the defence charter but CS-TQL was in and out of SYD today.

Hexcode was 492492.

[Jayden Laing]

Heads up to anyone interested, tomorrow's Air Austral flight, REU951, has been upgraded to a B77W, F-OREU. It's been here before but is something different other than the usual B77L that has been flying in lately.

[Stefan Perkas]

Putting the Hexcode into Airframes.org it shows that the aircraft is infact Boeing E6-B of the US Nav. rego/tail number 164407.

It is infact an incorrect hexcode, apprently it should be using AE0419. The code swapped after they coverted itfrom an E-6A to an E-6B.

http://www.airframes.org/reg/164407

[Peter Agatsiotis]

Cheers Stefan, had a feeling it was a miscode but thought I'd ask.

Also of interest was the regular C-17 flight which was operated by 09-9212 which is the newest C-17 to visit Richmond.

[Grahame Hutchison]

NZ7572 UV0270 15/06/2012 16:15 New Zealand Air Force B757-2K2 Corporate Flight

[Peter Agatsiotis]

We have 2 K/air 200's on descent, N660AA (BB-1949) and N660WM (BB-1944);

Not sure if they have cleared Customs elsewhere in which case they may head to Bankstown.

[Dave Dale]

Another Qantas 737-800 came to Rockhampton today. If only they would put them on regular services instead of only military charters. Anyways, always nice to see.

Flightaware (http://flightaware.com/live/flight/VHOEB)

Correct Tim. Been away for a couple of weeks to various destinations over Sth America, half of which I have never heard of! :p

[Tim Bowrey]

Thanks Sarah! Do you know the route it took?

[Paul Hunter]

This brochure should tell you all Tim.

[Tim Bowrey]

Thanks heaps Paul!

[Grahame Hutchison]

Must add one of these to the bucket list.

[Lee G]

Grahame,

I worked as one of the support crew on a Captain's Choice back in 2002 - definately worth the price! (Not that I can afford it!) - but if you get the chance to travel on one of the charters, it's the best of everything and all events and sightseeing is designed so there is no waiting at customs on arrival or departure and at any of the attractions at the destinations.

Oh to do another one.... (dreams on again!) :)

[Tim Bowrey]

ZK-OJH was in earlier this afternoon sporting a small black and white 'Star Alliance 15th Aniversary' sticker at the rear of the fuselarge. Arrived as NZ719 and departed NZ718.

[Nigel C]

Aeropelican's Jetstream 32 VH-OTH will be departing early tomorow morning for Norfolk Island then on to a new home in New Zealand. It was planned to leave around 0900, but may be looking for an earlier departure.

Evening all,

Air New Zealand A320 ZK-OJK made its 1st visit to Sydney this morning since re-entering service with Air NEw Zealand. It operated NZ887/884 CHC-SYD-CHC.

[Andrew Coggan]

[matthew mcdonald]

Also to add to Andrew's post, Eva Air have painted there first A330-200 in a hello kitty scheme which will probably go to brisbane in the near future. That brings there Hello Kitty schemes to: 2 X A333's and 1 X A332.

[Stefan Perkas]

You never know Matt, it could come to Sydney in the next 6 weeks. If my memory serves correct The 1st of a few EVA Air charters to Sydney starts this Thursday 28/6/12 or Friday 29/6/12.

[Jayden Laing]

Air New Zealand NZ101 is a B747 today. Due in at 9:10am & ZK-SUH is flying the sectors & is there last remaining 747(If I'm correct??)

[Tim Bowrey]

ZK-NBV also remains in service.

[Jayden Laing]

Ok thanks for that Tim.

[Ian Gains]

Matthew, EVA AIR have had A330-200's in the Hello Kitty colours previously - I saw 2 aircraft in 2006 in Japan. I can track down which aircraft if anyone is interested.

[Morris Biondi]

You're right Ian, Micheil and i got a 200 in the Hello Kitty scheme in Hong Kong in 08.

[Morris Biondi]

Guys there is a Thai Cargo in at 15:40 this afternoon. HS-TGJ first visit in daylight.

[Shayne G]

Looks like Atlas Air 747-400 N464MC (Pax version) is inbound to Townsville, due at 19:44 tonight.

I believe this aircraft will also come to Sydney in next day or two during it's Australia visit so keep your eyes peeled :)

all subj to change.

[matthew mcdonald]

Matthew, EVA AIR have had A330-200's in the Hello Kitty colours previously - .

Yeah that's right I remember seeing those around as well, I was just posting this new one as they were all repainted back into normal colours until this one came out.

[Tim Bowrey]

Looks like Atlas Air 747-400 N464MC (Pax version) is inbound to Townsville, due at 19:44 tonight. .

GTI7470 is on finals for TSV now inbound from KIAH via PHNL.

The Thai Cargo BCF looked absolutely stunning this afternoon. I'm looking forward to summer when hopefully it will arrive in daylight.

GTI7470 has just departed TSV.

VH-INU currently enroute to SYD from OOL due at 19:54 as RON901. Perhaps noteworthy to some as the airline no longer serves Sydney.

[Rory Delaney]

Anything on EVA Air ?? I've been at the airport waiting since 9am and still haven't seen anything.. anyone got news on it? :)

[Morris Biondi]

Mate she looks like a no show.

[Rory Delaney]

[Shayne G]

[Andrew Coggan]

[Tim Bowrey]

GTI7470 has just departed TSV.

Departed on time last night as GTI7471 to KSAN via PHNL on a RAAF charter flight. Apparently we could be seeing more in the future.

[Rory Delaney]

AI312 due in at 6:50pm today. Anyone know what exactly it is?

[Jayden Laing]

Rory, it's Air India & they will be using 787's but I'm not sure of that will be going ahead according to what I heard..... Don't go getting your hopes up yet!

[Rory Delaney]
