April Noteworthy Movements
 

Let's hope for a good month!

April 1st we have Korean SkyTeam HL7733 in this morning.

Yup. The Red Air China is also tracking here very soon. It'll be my first... :)

Also B-6093 (Star Alliance) is on Downwind at the moment so if you haven't got them two schemes from Air China....

And also China East is B-6129 flower scheme nothing new but if you want a photo it's in....

Gabon president is boarding his 767-200 right now, nice little motorcade he had....

Chris, first visit to Sydney was an AM arrival...

Evening all,

As mentioned in the last pasge of last months noteworth movements,

China Southern 325/326 tomorrow is being operated by A330-200 B-6532. It has viested previously twice before once on CZ325/326 and CZ301/302.

As I have stated before, these newer A332's for CZ which have GE engines, are not common in Australia. Only seen in Auckland.

9M-XXG is operating XAX-222 for Air Asia X's inaugural flight today.

Just picking up Cathay-101 to SYD . B-LAN is doing the flight, only delivered in January this year, not sure if its been to SYD or not, if it has please don't read this message !!!!

Morning all,

FLightaware showing that MAS6173 is being operated by an A332F today. It looks its being operated by 9M-MUC. Which will be its 1st visit to Sydney.

Hi Steve

I think it must have been here before as I took a photo of it departing Sydney on 5th March :)

EI-IGU Air Italy Boeing 737-700 took off from Canberra Airport about 30 minutes ago.. anyone know why it was there?

Stefan, lucky for you I caught it on camera today ;)
I was spotting today film Air Asia X's landing and Take off, and MASkargo landed with a reg of 9M-MUC :)

Chriss got an arrival time?
Cheers.....

BNE had N788LS a 737 in yesterday SIN-DRW-BNE-DRW-SIN.

9M-XXE opperating the D7222 today. First visit to SYD.

Rory do you know where the Air Italy was heading, callsign or anything like that? Not sure why it was here but saw it yesterday arvo on my way home parked nose-in to the SPA hangar so presumably a foreign dignatory. Cheers, Rowan

No i dont actually haha. I just saw it just passing the border of NSW and QLD and it said Air Italy EI-IGU B737-700. And its trail showed it flew out of Canberra? Maybe it was heading back to Italy haha with multiple stops..?

Hey Rory! Looks as though it might've been operating ASY447 which went from Canberra initially to Manado (Indonesia) and is then planned to continue to Beijing (PEK). Cheers, Rowan

JL772 just flew out. Isn't this normally a morning departure?

Definately a normal morning departure. Noticing that tomorrows JL771 wont be arriving till evening, so guessing the plane currently operating JL772(JA704J) will do the trip back down in the morning...

Just saw that as well! Its scheduled departure time is 8:15am ?
It went out at the same time as Qantas' flight to Tokyo!

The JAL 772 was over at the hard stands near the airport tunnel yesterday morning.

Apologies if this has already been posted, however Delta Airlines 767-300ER (76W) N196DN made a visit to Darwin last night with over 200 US Marines.

The delayed JAL flights could be due to the Japanese Governent canceling all transport around Tokyo due to a weather system that could develop into a typhoon off the coast....

Tonights JAL flight was JA707J opperating as JAL771D arriving at aprox 2020 out 2155

Tomorrows JL771 is opperated by JA735J(77W) just about to depart NRT.

Morning all,

Just looked on JAL's schedules and Friday's flight is also showing as a B777-300ER.

I saw the NZ all blacks from Greenvale this morning and wondered if it was the first time she flew to Melbourne. I also had friends fly her from AKL to LAX last Saturday 31st March.

Virgin Australia's first Kiwi registered 738 in the new livery just arrived in SYD on 34R ZK-PBJ from Tonga.

Vincent Aviation ZK-ECO BAE146 just arrived in Sydney from Cairns.

Cheers

Just for you Chris,

JA731J (green jet) is operating tomorrows flight.

Hey guys, just wondering but where do you get your information on which planes are flying in ?! I'd really like to know thanks !

If you have an Ipod or Ipad you can use planefinder and the alert fiunction on that. just put in a rego or callsign. Thats how most people find out nower days, I had JL771 on alert and it told me the rego, once it departed Narita.

There is also data.flight24.com and libhomeradar.

JAL with the "SKY ECO" livery this morning ...

JA731J JL0771 06/04/2012 05:55 Japan Airlines B777-346ER Tokyo Narita-Sydney

It looks great. Well worth my 4:30am get out of bed.

It's a beautiful morning down here at the tower - getting very crowded too.

We also had Alliance Airlines Fokker 50 VH-FKV in last night from Adelaide, It departed 9am this morning to Bourke not long after the JAL SKY ECO departure..

You got time Chris, I'm down here at the moment hopefully can get a shot thanks....

Hi Fly A340-300 quickly approaching Sydney if anyone wants to get a shot of it!

Unfortunately Jaryd EK408 is due in at 1am. Not sure what time it departs though.
