Was just watching planefinder a short time ago, and observed UAE413, being an Emirates A380, on its nightly departure from Sydney to Dubai.
Of interest was the fact that, instead of it's normal path over the Blue Mountains and beyond, tonight it flew north out of Mascot, headed over to Parramatta, then did a sharper than 90 degree turn and headed south to around Sutherland, before turning SW and heading for Mittagong and Moss Vale. Thereafter it headed WSW towards Goulburn before disappearing over Gunning.
What would have been the reason for such a circuitous route out of Sydney?
