[Shayne G]

A very good way to start February..


There is a Cathay Pacific 747-400 showing due into Sydney on Saturday morning.

CX8101 ETA 06:50
CX8110 ETD 08:20

There is another on the 9th February also.

A great nostalgia movement but subject to change as usual.

Flight Aware and FR24 seemed to indicate that it was an A330? Weather was crap, so I didn't head out.

[Andrew Coggan]

You didnt head out to the airport tomorrow? Fancy telling me the lottery numbers before you came back in time? :p

I think you will find that it was tomorrow not today as per Shayne's post Winston

Etihad started their evening B773 service EY454 A6-ETK today.

[Stefan Perkas]

Evening all,

China Eastern A330-200 B-6546 made its 1st visit today operating MU735/736.

[Winston Khong]

Ahhh, fail! :(

9V-SRG wet leased from SIA will be substituting for a Scoot 772 tomorrow on TZ1/TZ2 as well.

[phil.l]

Evening all,

China Eastern A330-200 B-6546 made its 1st visit today operating MU735/736.
Had this one here on the 15.12.12.

[Stefan Perkas]

Sorry, phil. My mistake. I thought it had visited before, but wasn't 100%. I was thinking of another rego.

However, Etihad B777-300ER A6-ETM is due to make its 1st visit tonight operating EY454/455.

[Tim Bowrey]

VH-VPD departed 16R ferrying to Singapore more than likely for repaint as VA9943.

[NathanJ]

SIA8852 rego 9V-SRG just arrived in Sydney.

[Stefan Perkas]

Evening all,

Not Sydney related. but...

Just read via http://fnqskies.blogspot.com.au/2013/02/royal-air-force-tristar-arrives-in.html RAF Tristar ZE705 arrived into Cairns last night. It is due to depart tomorrow morning at 0800. Not something we see in this part of the world anymore.

[Winston Khong]

Shame it won't head further south!

9V-SRG departed at 1430 yesterday, and it actually stopped raining! Further commentary from people based in Singapore seemed to indicate that it was a training flight as well, with the IFE switched off and limited catering. Still, the ScootBiz passengers would be happy on the inbound, and even the Economy passengers will be happier with wider seats.

A6-ETM (http://www.flickr.com/photos/sabian404/8266098716/) EY0454 02/02/2013 18:33 B777-300ER - Etihad Abu Dhabi-Sydney

[Stefan Perkas]

Afternoon all,

Etihad B777-300ER A6-ETL is operating EY454/455 tonight. This will be its 1st visit.

[Andrew Coggan]

Looks like VA are opperating the ATR 72-600 out of Sydney finally with VH-FVP making it's first visit late last month.

[Jarden S]

Andrew, I thought they were already in use on SYD-CBR flights.

[Andrew Coggan]

Only the 72-500 previously Jarden

[Stefan Perkas]

Afternoon all,

Asiana B777-200ER HL7791 operated todays OZ601/602. I do believe that it was its 1st visit to Sydney.

[Sarah C]

For those interested, VH-ZXA leaves SYD for the last time on its ferry flight to the boneyard. It leaves tomorrow at 7am, so if the current weather continues, it won't be a good photo opportunity.

[Peter Agatsiotis]

Very rare to these in Oz but thanks to a head's up from Gordon Reid a Bae ATP freighter, PK-DGI c/n 2027 ,has just arrived at Bankstown from up north.
The a/c is registered to Deraya Air Taxi which had or still has another ATP (F)

It is using a British hexcode (400AF2) which was it's previous ID of G-JEME.

No idea what it's doing here but It may be a demo for Pionair/Toll but that's purely guesswork.

Will try and get a photo today or tomorrow.

[Tim Bowrey]

Emirates SkyCargo 77F A6-EFJ appears to be making its first visit this evening(happy to be corrected) as EK9820 from DXB and SIN.

http://flightaware.com/live/flight/A6EFJ

[Paul f.]

Departs tonight for MEL.

[Paul S.]

How often does the EK freighter continue onto MEL?

[Paul f.]

Seems to be weekly now,its due to the limted freight capacity on the A380,s.

[Paul f.]

Departed MEL today after arriving Monday night.

[Stefan Perkas]

Afternoon all,

World Airways B747-400F N742WA is currently en-route to Newcastle from Andersan Air Force base, Guam as 'WOA8807', current eta is 1925. http://flightaware.com/live/flight/WOA8807

A Emirates SkyCargo 747-400F will arrive at Sydney tomorrow afternoon around 1530, operated by N415MC which is operating QF7556.

[Hendra Barnes]

Shayne,

Would you know if it's overnighting in Sydney, or will leave later on the evening?
Might be a good chance to head out after work tomorrow but only if the departure time is friendly for light + convenience. :)

[Shayne G]

Hi Hendra,

Emirates SkyCargo 744F looks to be heading out at 17:20 bound for Melbourne apparently.

[Shayne G]

A Emirates SkyCargo 747-400F will arrive at Sydney tomorrow afternoon around 1530, operated by N415MC which is operating QF7556.

Running a bit early, now due in approximately at 14:50. It should still depart to Melbourne at about 17:20 arriving there at 18:30.

Not the most common visitor and was in pretty recently but Air Pacific 737-700 DQ-FJF is operating FJ915 tonight and will depart at 6:30am tomorrow morning as FJ914.

[Andrew Coggan]

Air China's Star Alliance 77W will be in tomorrow on the CA173/174 service for those who have not yet got it. This may well be it's last visit as these flights will be opperated by A330 aircraft from 2nd March.

Afternoon all,

Tomorrows Malaysia Airlines B747-400 flight operating MH123/122 will be the last ever flight by B747-400 pax for MH to Sydney, it is also the last ever flight of the B747-400pax in Malaysia service. After tomorrow flight they will be retired from the fleet.

[Shayne G]

Last Malaysia Airlines 747 passenger service to be operated by 9M-MPP.


They will be greatly missed :( :( :(

[Steve S... 2]

So will Malaysia Airlines be operating the A3Ugly to Sydney instead?

Sad times.

[Jayden Laing]

They will be operating B777-200's for a few weeks on MH122/123 before switching to A333's whilst MH140/141 is being switched to A333's instead of the B777-200!
