Bankstown 20/12 & Sydney 26/12 Spotting
Hey All,
Have had the opportunity to take some photos around the traps this past week and thought I'd share with you. For those who might have problems viewing the photos below, try my Picasa gallery here: Picasa Web Albums - Daniel - December Spot... First off, some photos from Sydney's Metropolitan Airport, Bankstown. Dad and I went down for some flying and he spotted a big red Catalina and a couple of Skycranes... Catalina N160AT Erickson Air-Cranes N217AC and N194AC There was a third Skycrane parked in a different area of the airport (near Aerospace Aviation) as well. Dan

Dad flies with Schofields Flying Club as part of their formation team and was out doing some circuits in a two-ship formation, so I did some GA spotting at the end of the Runway 11L/C/R thresholds...
Schofields Flying Club Piper PA-28 Warriors VH-SVK & VH-FTU. Hope you enjoyed, the 'big boys' from Kingsford Smith are coming in the next post... Dan

What else would I be doing on Boxing Day apart from sitting around vegetating, so I figured I'd go to Sydney Airport as I wanted to see one of the last Classic B747-300 departures at midday.
Qantas B747-338 VH-EBV 'City of Geraldton' on one of her last departures to Perth. (Video capture, so the quality's not that great). Air Canada B777-233LR heading back to Vancouver. (Video capture, so the quality's not that great). I then changed locations (after lunch) and headed to the Old Control Tower carpark for some shots over the beach. Jetstar A330-200 VH-EBC (White Livery) United Airlines B747-422 N181UA (Battleship Grey Livery) Etihad A340-642 A6-EHB (Updated Livery) heading back to Abu Dhabi as EY451 Malaysia B747-4H6 9M-MPL Cathay Pacific A330-343 B-LAF Qantas B747-438ER VH-OEG Virgin Atlantic A340-600 G-VOGE 'Cover Girl' United Airlines B747-422 N180UA Hope you enjoyed! Happy Holidays and Best Wishes for 2009! Dan

Very nice photos Dan, thanks for sharing!! Just wondering, how do you get up so close to the aircraft at Bankstown? Is it only for flyers? I've still not been out there before.

I have seen people walking the taxiways etc without problem, so I guess if you can get in, you can have a good walk around For spotting though there's plenty of roads which go around the airport and bring you near the runways. Just make sure you don't illegally park your car or anything. Quote:
