Hi, Today I saw CX flight approaching to land at ADL around 2:15PM. Normally CX arrive to ADL from HKG at 10:30 Am everyday.

I check Adelaide Airport website and it show this is second flight from Hong Kong, flight no is CX2033 and this one going back to Hong Kong directly (not via Melbourne) around 4:15 PM as CX2032.

Any one known why this second Cathy pacific flight for Adelaide today ??

Evening all,

B-KAG operated the flight to Adelaide today. B-HUP (Silver Bullet) operated the flight on Tuesday.

I have attached a couple of shots of both aircraft

There should have been a few of us with those vests on. I was at the fence Tuesday for B-HUP's arrival.

Yesterday I was at another location awaiting its arrival. But for departure I was at the fence fence for its departure.

unsure what the future of these flights are past XMAS. Hopefully the stick around, We just have to check wee by week. Some people were saying they were taking over SQ cargo. But we had SQ come in this morning from AKL.

Evening all,

Another CX Cargo arrived in Adelaide today.

CX8023 arrived from Hong Kong just after 1300, departed to MEL at 1530 as CX8022. Rego was B-HKJ which is a Silver Bullet.
