Bankstown 20/12 & Sydney 26/12 Spotting
Hey All,
Have had the opportunity to take some photos around the traps this past week and thought I'd share with you. For those who might have problems viewing the photos below, try my Picasa gallery here: Picasa Web Albums - Daniel - December Spot... First off, some photos from Sydney's Metropolitan Airport, Bankstown. Dad and I went down for some flying and he spotted a big red Catalina and a couple of Skycranes...

Dad flies with Schofields Flying Club as part of their formation team and was out doing some circuits in a two-ship formation, so I did some GA spotting at the end of the Runway 11L/C/R thresholds...

What else would I be doing on Boxing Day apart from sitting around vegetating, so I figured I'd go to Sydney Airport as I wanted to see one of the last Classic B747-300 departures at midday.
Qantas B747-338 VH-EBV 'City of Geraldton' on one of her last departures to Perth. (Video capture, so the quality's not that great). http://www.400scalehangar.net/forums...pictureid=4061 Air Canada B777-233LR heading back to Vancouver. (Video capture, so the quality's not that great). http://www.400scalehangar.net/forums...pictureid=4062 I then changed locations (after lunch) and headed to the Old Control Tower carpark for some shots over the beach.

Very nice photos Dan, thanks for sharing!! Just wondering, how do you get up so close to the aircraft at Bankstown? Is it only for flyers? I've still not been out there before.

Great photos Dan. A6-EHB is an A340-541 too ;).
Cheers, Jayden |

I have seen people walking the taxiways etc without problem, so I guess if you can get in, you can have a good walk around :) For spotting though there's plenty of roads which go around the airport and bring you near the runways. Just make sure you don't illegally park your car or anything. Quote:
