DUAL A380 Sydney Flyover QF EK Photo Thread

[Mike W]

Nice photos from everyone.

However, I can't help wondering how many years before, if we have another event like this, Qantas won't be a part of it...

Guessing that TCAS would be going off its nuts during the flyby

Definitely would have selected 'TA only' on the TCAS

I think the EK plane turned off the transponder before getting in formation. It disappeared from both fr24 and flightaware off the coast of Manly, and then came back after the flyby.

If you listen carefully during the last 20 seconds of my video at http://youtu.be/CYoYS-R1u6U you'll hear ATC instruct EK to re-start squawking upon breaking formation.

Such a terrible shot from Bernie that Emirates used it as their Facebook post - well done! Shame about the cloud

Just a couple more from the south. Sorry about the back-lit perspective.
