Thanks for the heads up Simon

For the Sydney Spotters - will be arriving Sydney on Friday, departing Saturday - No timings as yet.

This a/c visited SYD in OCT 2000 for the Olympics.

Anyone have any further details or times on this one?

Leaves around 10am Saturday .

Thanks Lloyd,

Any arrival time SYD or did it arrive yesterday?( Read in e-papers that the VIP on board spoke in SYD last night)

Inbound to YSSY NOW ETA: 00.03 UTC ex: Canberra as flight 'BULG001'

I can see it - it is in the GA area, anyone around the area should get a good photo of it and the CA 747.

Really tough conditions to shoot photos in - the mound was just heat haze out to the runway and anything outside of 150 metres is basically unusable :(

Anyone contemplating an early morning or night shot would be on the money.

Best effort was this one -
