Today's JAL 772 is JA708J in the new scheme with Oneworld titles.


is that a/c rego a regular into Sydney?

[Jaryd stock]

Brian it's been in before but I've found that JA707/ 04/ 09/ 05J are pretty regular, but others would know more about the more frequent Rego's coming in.

[Brian Wilkes]

thanks mate!

[Rory Delaney]

Hi everyone, I believe QF12 diverted to Brisbane this morning as it shows it on it's way from Brisbane. I have checked flightaware and it's true. Due in at 9:57AM.
By the way, I was at the airport earlier this morning and there were 2 Vietnam A330s. One that just landed and was at the gate, while the other was parked where Virgin Australia and Singapore Airlines usually park. Anyone know why?
Thanks!

[Carl H.]

What was once a regular visitor to SYD but is now an ever so rare movement, Air Tahiti Nui A343, F-OJGF is operating for Air Calin today as ACI140/141. Arriving at 1230pm.

http://flightaware.com/live/flight/FOJGF

Air Tahiti Nui aircraft operate Air Calin's Noumea - Tokyo service 4x weekly until 03DEC12, so it could well be that one of Calin's A330s is undergoing maintenance and Sydney will see Tahiti multiple times throughout this period as well.

[Brian Wilkes]

You guys should see the Air Cals A330's in a new livery very very soon!

[Jayden Laing]

DO you know where I can see what this new livery looks like Brian?

[Brian Wilkes]

From what Ive read Jayden it sounds like a redo of there hibiscus logo!

[Hendra Barnes]

I was only mentioning this story to a friend over the weekend about how I would love to capture an Air Tahiti Nui.

Sounds like it's a great chance now.

I'm aware of the above post and on the other Noteworthy thread, that it will continue the Wednesday Air Calin service until December 5th. Is this quite a firm information?

I'd like to know because Wednesday is a work day for most people and yeah, I need to take the day off just to capture this rare gem.

Thanks,
HB

[Carl H.]

Is this quite a firm information?
Yes, flights have been loaded into the booked system as A340-300 operated by Air Tahiti Nui, times 1.30-3.15pm on Wednesdays (Summer time).

However, subject to change of course

[Hendra Barnes]

Thanks Carl.

Will have to chuck a sickie one Wednesday then. :)

Today we had four Star Alliance aircraft in today, SQ 773, AC A333, UA 744, TG 744. And JAL was 708 Oneworld scheme, and China Airlines is Skyteam A333. Don't know how often it's happend but all three Air Alliances in today.

Thai HS-TGW is also wearing 15 year anniversary logo

[Rowan McKeever]

AC A333

That'd have to be noteworthy on its own, wouldn't it???

[Jaryd stock]

Its meant to be CA for Air China, which is in a bit

[Peter Agatsiotis]

Great photos Jaryd!

[Jaryd stock]

Thanks Peter.

[James S.]

Any ETD of the C-17?

[Jayden Laing]

Not anytime soon James! It's still on the freight ramp all locked up! It was the same aircraft that made the emergency landing in WLG the other day!

I didn't have the motivation to go to the airport early in order to catch the Thomson (yes, boring for me as a European ;))...fortunately it was a little sunnier at the other end of the runway.

[Winston Khong]

N164RJ has been running between Sydney and Brisbane, and departed for Coolangatta this morning at 0955... any idea on its return to Sydney, if at all?

[Kurt A]

Evening all,

Flightaware showing Asiana A330-300 HL8259 is operating OZ601/602 tomorrow. This will be its 1st visit to Sydney.

[Grahame Hutchison]

Only delivered on 12/09/2012

HL8259 OZ0601 12/10/2012 08:44 Asiana Airlines A-330-323X Incheon(Seoul)-Sydney

[Rory Delaney]

Flightaware is showing QF12 is being diverted to Honolulu. http://flightaware.com/live/flight/QFA12
Could anyone fill us in on the reason?

[Rowan McKeever]

Great pics Kurt! That's one good looking A330 :)

[Grahame Hutchison]

Nice pics, the A330-300 suits the Asiana livery really well - I will be on OZ0602 next month, so hopefully I will get a newbie like HL8259.

[Lee G]

A6-EDZ, the latest A380 to Emirates fleet arrived this morning.. due back this evening before heading back to DXB

[Raymond Z]

Would today's CA175/176 Air China service B-6070 be the first time it has visited Sydney since it's a domestic configured A332 rather than the normal international configured A332 planes that are the norm for the CA175/176 service?

Only a few days ago it did CA177/178 to Melbourne.

[Carl H.]

VH-OQK is now wearing 'Spirit of Australians' titles as well as the names; although they are hardly visible!

[Nigel C]

Thai 472D (HS-TGX) departs off Bay 1 at 0900 as a ferry flight only.

[Brad Varney]

CZ 301 in late and probably will be delayed till tomorrow B-6057.

[Lee G]

On departure this morning. :)

[Rowan McKeever]

Nice one Lee!

Afternoon all,

A heads up for Melbourne Spotters, Jordanian International Air Cargo IL76 JY-JID is due into Melbourne at 1940 from Perth.


Stefan is this 76 a stretched version, just by the look of the photos it looks longer...

[Stefan Perkas]

H i Jaryd,

I am not sure. By the looks of photos I have seen as well, it appears a stretched version.

[James S.]

It's an Il-76MF, stretched and re-engined with PS90s, they first built the prototype in the late 90s but this aircraft is the first (and only) production variant built in 2011 it seems. Out of curiosity, does anyone know what happened to RA-76900 (cn 1053417563), the last photos of it I can find are in 2005 and I can't locate it's current status anywhere.

[Peter Agatsiotis]

James had a quick look at Freebird and this Jordanian IL76 could be ex RA76900.
It was returned to the TAPCO factory for mods to IL76MF for the RJAF sometime in 2006 and supposedly delivered around Feb this year?

Just found an entry in August Aviation Letter stating JYJID/361 was in Moscow in June and quote cn 20.3423808 so this is either a new build or just cn change?

[James S.]

I got this little bit of information on a picture on Airliners.net;

The first production Ilyushin Il-76MF airlifter built for Jordan by Tashkent Aircraft Production Corp. (TAPC) under the contract landed by Rosoboronexport on 17 August 2005, during the visit of the MAKS 2005 air show by the Jordan King and Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Jordanian Armed Forces, His Majesty Adballah ben Al-Hussein II, has been undergoing flight tests at Ilyushin’s facility in Zhukovsky, Moscow Region (Take-off Magazine).

So this plus the different c/n leads me to assume that they're different aircraft... Interesting! :confused:

[Jaryd stock]

Thanks Stefan and James, aircraft has since departed YMML.

[Jayden Laing]

Departed for Perth & then probably onwards home via Colombo!

[Rory Delaney]

Sydney Airport page shows VN9773 from Ho Chi Minh City arriving at 5:47am and AR1960 at 7:00am - http://flightaware.com/live/flight/ARG1960
Not sure the reason for both.

[Jaryd stock]

For anyone who didn't get it last year, VH-VZO is wearing a Mo for Movember again....

[Peter Agatsiotis]

SQ231 is being operated by 9V-SWA today

[Grahame Hutchison]

I photographed Ilyushin Il-76TD-90VD RA-76850 in Zurich in 2006, which is fitted with the PS90 engine.
