Not any more - it just took off 34L about a minute ago.

Sorry about the confusion - the DHL building I was referring to is the freight terminal near the General Aviation area.

Thanks Sarah, we were talking about two different C17s i think. The one that was at Sydney i believe came from NZ...dont quote me on it.

That would make sense about the DHL building though!!

Did anyone get a departure time for the 5Echo1 from Richmond? Actually, has anyone driven past or anything because it is still showing up on PP in the Sydney area i think?

Nice shots Andrew. Did you know it was coming in or was is it just a fluke!
You could be sitting at Richmond all day waiting for a dept from the weekly one.

Wasn't able to make it to Richmond this week to confirm if it came in Andrew. I also didn't pick anything up yet on my Plane Plotter so maybe it didn't come in this week for some reason.
Hopefully i'll have better luck next week.

Cheers
Gerard
