September Noteworthy Movements
 

Picking up Skytrans Dash 8 VH-QQM on SBS/Planeplotter on descent probably for SYD.

BNE-EMD-WOL-BNE

Adhoc charter and or a weekly flight?

Actually very interesting as i have noticed over past few weeks FIFO into BNE from WOL.In today's Courier Mail there is a article about Pelair SF340 flights have already commenced out of WOL to EMD via BNE.They have then said that QFlink are also planning 70 seater Q400 flights as well.

So it appears as though Skytrans have also jumped on the bandwagon as well.

From the SMH:
When did QF start back in Wollongong, and how can they be using 70-seaters if they're still working with CASA for an exemption!?

No current Q-Link service.

Emirates 412/413 is operated by A6-EDN which is sporting a new 2011 rugby world cup sticker.

Is there anything of note expected to be in Sydney tomorrow? Myself and a fellow Canberra spotter will be around tomorrow, keep an eye out for a white Lancer with ACT plates at the mound and beach.

VH-VZR, the latest QF B738 is currently overhead Wollongong en route to Melbourne as QF6024.

Cheers

Another great shot Lee - would I be correct in saying this is the first A380 with a decal/special livery?

Hi Sarah,

I don't think so, Qantas had VH-OQB wear an "We just love footy" decal for a very short time and Emirates A380 had A6-EDH wear an "6000th Airbus" decal. However all 'special decals' have been short lived, maybe this one will last a while :D

ANZ101/102 is being operated by ZK-NBW today.

Mineralogy MD82 VP-CBH is on descent, presume SYD as Clive Palmer is on the panel of Q&A (ABC 9:35 pm) tonight.

Where are these MD-82's based?

I think they are at BNE now (used to take up space at OOL)

Please let it be around tomorrow morning...

Yep based at BNE...wish we still had them here in OOL.

Heads up for everyone,

Tomorrow mornings KE121/122 service is opperated by HL7488 in the 'British Museum' scheme.

A new A330 for Air China is operating CA173 today, B-6533 A330-243 c/n 1237.

MH140 from last night is delayed and will depart 1:30pm today, it is an B777-200.

Southern Air/ Thai Cargo B777LRF (N775SA) just south west of Tamworth at 37,000ft bound for Sydney as "SOO9524".

Will be it's normal arrival time?

Just arrived bout half an hour ago Brian out at five, VP-CBH
Just departed back to Brisbane good to see a McDonnell Douglas aircraft...

You mean apart from the MD-11's Jaryd?

hahahahaha.

Any MD aircraft are welcome to visit Sydney in my book Matty....

Impressive crime performanze must be a feature of MD aircraft...the Mineralogy bird gained altitude at a high rate of knots on departure.

Nice to hear the JT8D's again too, I was waiting to get picked up at school and heard a plane thinking that's pretty loud, and I saw the MD-82, and WOW it sure did gain altitude quickly!

Nice to see something different here in Sydney, hope we get it more often!

Was there a southern air 7472 in today?

No....Not in during day anyways Brad. I was under 34R flight path on general homes drive and it was a great noise emanating from those engines on the MD-82...

No Brad, the flight the B742 would of operated has been delayed until 8:15pm. It was also scheduled to route through Adelaide before heading back to Kuala Lumpur, it might be cancelled for today.

Just wondering if anyone know's if SOO9525 Southern 772F is full when it leaves here to go back to Bangers ?

When I was talking to the people loading it the first time it came in they said it was chockers coming in and out, so I would say yes.

VH-VZR operated its first service today as QF406 from MEL.

Shayne MAS 6203 hasn't been cancelled due in the time you have posted coming in direct from KL, thanks Matty also...

Alright, cheers people :)

Just noticed on SBS and PP Thai AF A319 HS-TYR on descent, no sharer on PP so not sure where it is headed. Now off SBS so I assume Canberra? Last level on PP was around FL140!

Parked on Military apron now in Canberra Peter.

Other news;
QLink LQF Q400 was in today.
Brindabella's newest Metro now in service VH-TAM.

Thanks Tim. Good guess???;)

Yep saw VH-TAM in SYD yesterday morning.

Good guess Peter! It departed CBR this morning I am told.

Also, Last nights DHL service returned to the gate about 11:02pm missing curfew and looks to be departing shortly. It was acctually taxiing up Bravo for 16R when I saw it.
