After a stop of just over an hour, she's on her way to NAN now :)

Not the best day for photography (totally overcast and heat haze), and on landing VH-XZP turned right onto Taxiway Alpha for the International Terminal
(presumably because of customs for the Pax). I really like the Retro 1971 Ochre livery, it is simple and clean, and somewhat significant, as VH-ZXP is the
75th and final B738 for Qantas. The aircraft has been named "James Strong", after the former Qantas CEO who passed away in March 2013.

Thanks Grahame, enjoyed those photos especially the last one.

It's been a while since seeing those colours in front to that building.

If you like a little colour and movement, here is the 60 Seconds At Sydney video of VH-XZP's delivery arrival in Sydney.

Great pics, Grahame!

I was lucky enough to catch a glimpse from 5C on board QF790 to ASP, she's a stunner! ☺️ Gotta say there was NO water canon salute...

Nice shoots, Grahame.

Pity about the weather conditions.

It think the whole fleet should be painted this way.
