Well it's definately planned to leave tomorrow but timing is very subject to change, should be 9am or the 'morning' in general.

Where will you be filming it from Dan?

[Peter Agatsiotis]

Yes mate, damn if I could find the actual photo of the Domodedovo kite for scanning.

Only reason I was in BNE was that the lead up to the Olympics had rumours of 20+ airliners to be parked at BNE so booked a flight up there a few weeks in advance. Big disappointment as there was only the IL96, the Kuwait MD80 and the 2 B757's Bill Gates bought in.

Another terrible photo Chris Nice one!

Will depend on runway ops. If 16R, might have to go to the Tower Mound. If 34L, I'll consider Swamp Rd for that overhead pass that should sound amazing.

But either spot would be good for either direction... hmmmm, decisions!

Does anyone know what bay it's on exactly? Hoping for 99

Thanks to you gents who got shots of the IL-96 and have posted them up. Living out of Sydney precludes me the chance to come in and try and see this aircraft in the flesh.

I've always been particularly fascinated with this aircraft type and would love to photograph (Or even go for a fly) on one eventually, and never imagined one would ever come to Sydney!

Maikha, SU fly this type between Sheremetyevo and Dubai (if you're ever in that neck of the woods...)

I just hope for the weather change....16 to 34

[Shayne G]

I second that Darren, lets hope for 34L departure.

[Nigel C]

Won't happen according to the forecast. A second southerly front is due tonight around curfew and winds will continue from the south until at least this time tomorrow.
