Canberra - ANA B777

[Kim F]

Does anyone know when the above aircraft is departing? Been in town a few days now (unless it has already gone)

[Rowan McKeever]

Scheduled for 4pm today Kim - http://flightaware.com/live/flight/JA788A

I'm wondering if anyone knows what the charter is?

[Kim F]

Thanks for that. Pity I start work at 4:00 today !:(

[Torin Wilson]

It was 50 Japanese businessmen, quite a powerful group as I understand.

[Rowan McKeever]

Cheers Torin. In CBR for meetings with government I guess, then SYD for meetings with large corporations? Haha I guess 50 people would have to be a bit powerful to charter a 77W!!

[Kurt A]

Just airborne out of Canberra now.

[Torin Wilson]

The organisation is Keidanren, apparently.

What a shame Mr. John Adlard had to be an absolute d***head down at the fenceline today, greedily ruining some people's attempts at trying to catch it. How selfish. Hope everyone else's shots came out OK.

Take note that this is the guy who think's it's fine to visit the Radar Field and ruin it for us all when SACL have CLEARLY STATED on this website that the area is out of bounds. And by god, nobody else better be caught there or they'll be told with some colourful language about 'his spot' and to buzz off. (Note the dates that certain aircraft were painted up...)

You see John, not all students forget to do their homework, buddy. ;)

I agree James. I don't think he understands if he talks down to the wrong people one day he might find himself in a world of hurt. I am just saying this for his personal safety, as I am a nice person but other people are not so nice.

Its a pity this has happened up in Sydney, whilst I was in Canberra for the day, the people I met down there was nothing but a pleasurable and engaging bunch.... Very friendly, for which almost all of the YSSY guys 'n' gals up here are as well...

Sad sad afternoon, when all we want, is to enjoy our hobby....
