VH-OJS Socceroos
Hi all!
I'll be in Sydney this Thursday-Friday, and I am wondering whether this 744-4 is likely to be around "the big smoke". Does this aircraft regularly visit Sydney? Reason I ask, is that I am a little surprised there seems to be no mention of OJS sightings at YSSY on this board. P.S. VH-OEB would be of interest also on the above days. Cheers John

John,
Both aircraft departed today, OJS to London and OEB to LAX. OEB will be back Thur morning around 8am and then depart I presume to the states again either Thur or Fri. OJS probably won't be back in SYD this week, if at all, there's a possibility it will arrive early Fri morning

One more quick question, if I may.
Given the 0635 arrival time for VH-OJS as QF2, and the lack of light at that hour, is there a particular pattern to which flight this aircraft is likely to depart on later in the day? Any local knowledge much appreciated. Cheers John

Firstly, OJS will not be operating the QF2, OJU will be (OJS is QF30 to MEL). At least OJU is in the new livery. Secondly, first light is at 0637, meaning it would be quite dark indeed at 0635, as the sun doesn't come up until 0702. I have no idea about photography, but I would presume it would be too dark for a decent photo?
Also, OEB is set to operate QF107 on Friday around 11am

upcoming movements for OJS and OEB
Hi All!
With this being the most knowledgeable forum I know, I would like to know about planned movements of QF B747-400s VH-OJS (Soccerroos) and VH-OEB (come play). I am on holidays shortly and would appreciate any info say from June 28 to July 10. Living in the country doesn't afford much opportunity for photos so any help is much appreciated!! Many thanks Damian
