Default Crossing The Adelaide VOR

While looking around the country on PlanePlotter this afternoon, I noticed this nice VOR crossing by two aircraft at the same time, Qantas 582 (VH-EBJ) operating Perth - Sydney at FL410 and 532kts (985kph), and Malysian 129 (9M-MRC) operating Kuala Lumpur - Melbourne at FL390 and 523kts (968kph). Not sure if the weather conditions in Adelaide were suitable for a couple of good contrails.



Looking a little closer and allowing for the accuracy of PlanePlotter, the crossing
was very close to smack on the VOR (the green AD triangle).

Missed that one, but got this a few weeks ago from the backyard.

Good one Matthew, not sure about the B747, but the aircraft below looks like a Thai B777-3D7 to me.
