I know this is quite late notice, i'll be at the mound in the morning after 9ish (depending on M5 traffic) hoping to catch Viva Macau, United, Aerolineas and Lan. If you will be there during that time pop over and say hi.

Currently on the mound, does anyone know what these are about? Fancy blocking our view...
Camera phone, so excuse the quality... |

Night works on the runways and taxiways. They're parked there just inside that access gate during the day.

Ok, home now as it was kind of miserable out there being grey and windy... But I have a couple of shots, one is Wunala:

Yep, a bumper for very slight tail strikes. Won't do much in the event of a wild over-rotation though. Perhaps AJ or Will can elaborate?

that's the retractable tailskid on the 767 - I was told (if I can still recall correctly) that they paint it with many layers of paints so that if a minor tail strike does occur, they could work out how many layers of paints were worn off.

I noticed the retractable tail skid on the B737-800's has a colour guide on it, to indicate the serveity of the tail strike. |

yes do agree that it was abit windy out there today. Did get a few decent shots myself. It was quite hard to keep the hand still to take photos. I did move to the beech after getting a hot krispy kreme coffee. And i'm glad i did with the second viva macau shot below.. |
