[Brad Varney]

Hi, on my flight back from Melbourne their was an southern air 7472
rego N765SA parked at the cargo terminal,
I got a few crappy shots of it but I would love to see it depart, does anyone know what time it will depart or what time it did?
thanks

Southern Air operate on behalf of MasKargo though it seems rare these days. Today it departed as MH6204 at 1:15pm.

I think you might find that MasKargo are getting rid of them as a result of Southern Air being often late/delaying flights due to mechanical & other problems.

I've noticed they are often delayed for a long time or don't show up all together, thanks for the info there Jayden, any idea when they will stop coming completely? I wouldn't mind seeing a classic 747 take off one last time before Sydney loses the last visiting classics

[Jayden Laing]

No idea Shayne but i should imagine it wont be too far in the distant future as you said because MasKargo seem to operate their own aircraft a lot lately

Even there own 747F's (MasKargo) are also late, some 24 hours late!
Qantas's Atlas Air Cargo's 744F's never ever run on time either

Where did you get this info from Jayden? because as Brian said even when they operate there own aircraft there always late

If a classic 747 is coming into YSSY or is already there it would be greatly appreciated if someone could tell me.
thanks

Looks like MAS is operating a Southern Air 742 today due in at 10 for those who want to see a classic.
