RCH5E1 just came in through what looked like what aircraft coming into Sydney from the south for 16L/R do. Flew right over the hills district at 2,000' for a 28 approach.
05-5143 this morning.

Yes, ATC took him from MARLN to the SYD VOR, then tracked him on hdg 270 until he was just about abeam Bankstown. They then turned him right onto hdg 360 which they held him to before being cleared to intercept the RWY 28 LLZ.

Seems as if the run is becoming one largely allocated to AMC gained Reserve Wings. Probably a couple of Delta/United/American/Continental etc drivers on a few days off!

Thanks Mark, now that you mention it, it did come more from Bankstown direction but still i don't often see them cutting across my back yard! I have also noticed that its usually a reserves crew doing the run. And for today we get, 06-6156 Spirit of the Golden Bear today from Travis.

They must have seen my post - we got Active Duty this week, and from Travis, which 'owns' the Echo channel flights. Head Office itself!

Back to the reserves from March again today.

I am in HNL and have watched and listened from the other end

Left Sunday morning HNL time at 0100 (2200 Sunday night in SYD) and arrived back Wednesday morning HNL time at 0030 (2130 Wednesday night in SYD).

Airplane watching has come to an end now as my wife is now here. Shops will be my life until we leave...
