I was only spotting for about 40mins before work but it was the greatest 40min block of my life. Great to see some exciting stuff in Sydney!

Dear tim,

This was the second PR 744 in two days into Sydney as last Saturday's was a 744 as well RP-C8168. Both iof these came from Melbourne.

Where was that Philippine 747 photo shot from?
Perhaps it is just the framing and perspective, but I just can't see it, and it looks like a great spot.

I believe that the spot was on top of the bridge in between the Virgin Blue and Qantas departures terminals right in front of the Dash 8's. He had to go to work in T3 yesterday so spotted before that.

Tim, please correct me if I am wrong.

Yeah if you walk West from T2 up top, you get to a little staircase which gives you a pretty good view for 16R arrivals.

Tim, sorry I didn't see the info on the webpage.

Great shots by the way!

Personally I love my 50-500mm because it gives the focal length required from any place in Sydney. The 100-400L is obviously alot better quality but at the Mound in the morning, you cannot full frame most aircraft which taxi along Charlie(The nearest taxiway). Hope this helps.
