Nice flyby. Everyone outside the church applauded and cheered as it came past, very touching.

Default Farewell Nancy Bird Walton

Been trawling the Net for a video of the A380 flypast but zilch even on news websites. Found this on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iG2rNwOlZk8 that I thought I would share. Do you know of any other such videos of this event? Thank you.

'Nancy' passes St Andrew's Cathedral in a moving salute to Nancy.



An AWPA pink tribute and farewell.

Rest In Peace Gracious Lady

Beautiful shot, Mick. Thanks for sharing this pix. What altitude was OQA at? Did you post a higher res version of it anywhere else (that I may download)? Thank you.

The A380 departed RWY 34L, runway heading to 3,000, then got 'when ready turn right & track down George St, when tracking south descend to 2,100' " ie a teardrop turn back for the flypast. (2,100 is radar lowest safe altitude over the city) After passing the Cathedral they got when ready left heading 110, climb to 3,000
So they should have been at 2,100 over St Andrews, they also had a plan to fly the harbour at 1,500 but were late getting away.
Taken from Randwick, in the overshoot... a full size 400D shot at the URL below.

Mark, was the crew in contact with Sydney Tower, Approach or Radar during the flyover?
