The flight number for the flight is QF6601, operated by VH-OQA as mentioned before.

only did north to south run at 1500 ft.

WebTrak says 2000 feet.

I got a few shots from my office.

Nice flyby. Everyone outside the church applauded and cheered as it came past, very touching.

Farewell Nancy Bird Walton
 

Been trawling the Net for a video of the A380 flypast but zilch even on news websites. Found this on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iG2rNwOlZk8 that I thought I would share. Do you know of any other such videos of this event? Thank you.

try the news broadcasters. I saw one and they showed a little bit of the flypast.

Goodbye Nancy
 

Thanks D Chan for tip.


Beautiful shot, Mick. Thanks for sharing this pix. What altitude was OQA at? Did you post a higher res version of it anywhere else (that I may download)? Thank you.

The A380 departed RWY 34L, runway heading to 3,000, then got 'when ready turn right & track down George St, when tracking south descend to 2,100' " ie a teardrop turn back for the flypast. (2,100 is radar lowest safe altitude over the city) After passing the Cathedral they got when ready left heading 110, climb to 3,000
So they should have been at 2,100 over St Andrews, they also had a plan to fly the harbour at 1,500 but were late getting away.

Mark, was the crew in contact with Sydney Tower, Approach or Radar during the flyover?
