They're all very old aircraft - 30/32 years old - but still very capable.

Some more shots of the Oregon jets while we're waiting for Browny's Hawaiian shots. (hint, hint ;) ) .

Does anyone know if any Singapore Airforce aircraft were tracking north today?

I was held down at FL230 until an aircraft with the callsign "Singair XXX" passed above me at FL240, before I could continue up to FL270. This was in South West QLD.

Cheers

IFR pilots don't look up/outside? You're better than that Mick!

FL240 has C-130 written all over it as would the dirty black trail behind the aircraft!

You're right, I didn't bother, :). ATC just told me that I had traffic passing above me at FL240, and I heard them seperating us, so I never sighted them, :D.

Twice a day, every day except Friday (just the once).

There hasn't been a tanker around all this week and the C-17s will only be there at the beginning and end of the deployments.

Cheers,
Motty.
