No. I don't know details.

Are you working Wednesday Nigel? I might be down there first thing and it'd be good to say hi, even if it's just a wave over the fence!

Anyone else want to catch up Wednesday, I should be at either Shep's Mound or Qantas Drive from just before sunrise until 11ish.

Cheers

Andrew

I'm working Tuesday night and Wednesday night this week, and as much as I'd like to stay to say g'day, I think my bed will be calling pretty loudly by the time you rock up!

Cheers
Nigel

There was no US Airways flight anywhere near 5:36pm. This USAF C-40 is as close as you get! (Camera clock time was out so Exif data is approx 7 min ahead of real time so landed about 5:40pm)

I know there was no US Airways flight, as i said before,

To add to the weird arrivals, 01-0041 (cn 33080/1089), a Boeing C-40B BBJ (737-7CP) from the US Air Force arrived just after 5 pm.

01-0041 MC2323 05/04/2008 17:01 USAF / USN --------->

The USAF flight was under the US Airways flight from Sydney Airport.com

23 & 24US have been following each other around of late, they are retired from NW scheduled flights but have been kept in the fleet for charter services, mainly military & NFL charters. These are the only two classics in the NW fleet.
