After a very short 2 day visit to Sydney, it was time to say Au revoir to French President Emmanuel Macron at Sydney Airport. The French Air Force Airbus A330-200 F-RARF was quickly on its way to New Caledonia, departing off Runway 34R under blue skies.

There were two additional support aircraft, one was a French Air Force Airbus A340-200 F-RAJB, which departed shortly after the President's aircraft off Runway 34L, and also heading for New Caledonia. The other was a French Air Force Dassault Falcon 7X F-RAFA, which departed shortly before the President's aircraft off Runway 34L, and also heading for New Caledonia.

Apparently the 77E is being leased to LATAM Chile to cover its B787-9s due to Rolls-Royce engine issues.

With all the focus on the 3 French Air Force aircraft, and the visit by French President Macron, it would have been very easy to miss this rare little gem Dash 8-100 operated by PNG Air Cargo. P2-MCG flew Port Moresby-Carins-Roma-Sydney in 6hr 45min, arriving at 0548L on Thursday 3rd May 2018.

Delivered on the 29MAR18, and just over five weeks old, UPS Boeing #B747-8F N609UP made her first visit to Sydney Airport this afternoon. Now all five of the new UPS B747-8F Freighters have visited Sydney, with three more still to be delivered from the initial order of eight.

There was another rare visitor at Sydney Airport this evening, with Abu Dhabi Amiri Flight Boeing B787-9 A6-PFE arriving from Christchurch as AUH5. The Dreamliner touched down on Runway 34L just after sunset, and taxied to DOM6 Bay 97

I have been chasing this brand new Bell 505 for a month now, and it's the third of only four on the Australian Register. While waiting in the car to photograph the Abu Dhabi Amiri Flight Boeing B787-9 A6-PFE arriving, my iPhone alarm goes off and indicates that Bell 505 VH-HRH had just lifted off at Kangaroo Valley and was heading my way. As you might guess, they both arrived at the same time, however I managed to catch this long shot, which will have to do for now.
