Grahame, great up and close photos. If the Brunei 748 was over on the Juliet bays on the western side of the airport was the Kilo apron full of ASEAN and or other aircraft?

Great pictures Grahame! Love that Brunei 747.

Did anyone see (what I assume was) the RAAF hornet over Sydney around 7pm? Left a noticeable contrail. Believe it might have been air to air refueling too. I guess that is ASEAN related.

At least one has been circling Sydney all day long and I can still hear it, but it seems to be lights out mode so haven’t spotted it tonight.
I was wondering if it would be air to air refueling or heading back to Williamtown or perhaps Richmond to refuel.
What kind of shift would the guys be on?
Does anyone know what altitude they would be cruising at?

They would be running standard CAP sorties out of Willy, and I suspect if you were up there you would get to watch them arm whilst on the runway, which is an unusual sight.

During the Friday morning ASEAN arrivals, there were one or more Hornets loitering above the airport - we could hear them and occasionally see them. As well, A30-003 was positioned off the coast, between Williamtown and Sydney. It departed Williamtown at 0612L and returned at 1418L - good endurance. CAP and Coms/Command in operation.

James, Cambobia and Vietnam were parked on the KILO Apron, Malaysia and Indonesia on DOM6, and Brunei and Thailand on Bay 77/76

A39-004 has been running racetracks over Sydney so they must be inflight refuelling as well. Four hours and counting.

Garhame - how'd you get the shots through the annoying fence? Lovely.

I bet 45 would love the Sultan's 748, but I like the 345!
