Just when we thought that 'it' was all over.....AVV is now expecting N477MC 747-400F Atlas Air (ex G-GSSC, N494MC) as GTI8569 around 20.30pm tonight.

Big thanks to Stefan P in Adelaide for this.

Nice shot of the MD-11, Brian. I was the only one at the crash gate on Sunbury Rd for it's departure, which struck me as strange !

This thread is of great interest to me and i would like to pass on my thanks to all that have contributed the information for those such as me that are a little less informed on this subject. I think special thanks must go to Robert for supplying the original info and giving us all the heads up.

That said,thanks again to you all

Cheers
Jim

Anyway happy hunting and hope you enjoy the race

Does anyone know when the two F/A-18s came into Tullamarine today? I was driving past this evening and noticed them parked near one of the hangars...
They'll probably be the ones used for the F/A-18 flypast on the weekend for the F1.

And does anyone know any details for the QF fly over on sunday before the race start? The usual 747 in attendance I assume?
