Nice shot Tim, any idea of departure time?

I managed to get some nice shots from the fence in front of Krispy Kreme. Sunlight was perfect, got there just as they were shutting down.

It is still parked over at general aviation, apparently it is here bringing a diplomat in to discuss resuming uranium shipments

Yep - it is facing the west in the GA area so it is about to taxi to runway 34L in the next couple of minutes.

It jus took off from 34L , rotating in line with the tower so it is a good photo spot if you were at the beach.

Nice to see over St Clair at 5.14pm on the Katoomba track. I was keeping an eye out with the radio on and most of the previous departures (TG996, BA16 and SQ222) had tracked via Richmond so very lucky that it came this way.

Nice clear reg under the wing.

Where did it depart too? I had Clearance Delivery on the whole time but didnt hear it. Callsign was "Sierra Delta Mike 5003" even though it was hard to understand them.
