Thank you! It was a great way to close out Sydney, with some jets I had wanted for a while.

So it would appear that my report of the end of my Sydney spotting was slightly premature.

With my plans to travel to Melbourne failing to come through in the end, I suddenly found myself with...

Thanks, Smoketrails.

Alright folks, this is it, I believe this will be the final set of photos from Sydney. Weather and school have conspired to run down the clock. Nothing spectacular this week....

Thank you all so much. Based on the weather forecasts and my schedule, it looks like I am officially done spotting at Sydney, sadly. Not a bad way to go out I reckon...

Alright, I promised a special visitor last week, so I guess I need to step up and deliver. This week featured a couple of significant images.

But first, some shots taking advantage of the nice...

Thanks guys!

William, I will see what I can do for you ;)


Of course right after I posted this update I got pulled over to the airport for a rather special visitor...but alas it will have to...

Some more images from another week down under

Thanks 727C47!

Another week another update. Since the regular traffic has been well documented, just a few to cease boring you all with duplicates.

There is talk of this one losing this...

I guess it is time for me to report back in after another week-ish worth of life down under. This time I actually have a pretty large amount of (what I think to be) decent quality stuff for y'all! So...

Thanks, guys!

Time for the catches from the latter half of April and the first few days of May. A bit of a quiet period for me, due to illness, but I made it out a few times.

Samsung's Global Express arriving...

Hah, thank you so much! They certainly get some stunning light early in the morning, and I have been told the number of mornings I have gotten with south winds and sunshine is unique, as it usually...

Thank you for the kind words, Doug.

Time for my weekly update from SYD. Sadly I took rather ill with the flu this week, which put paid to my plans to travel in Thailand for spring break. After being laid up in bed for several days, I...

The weather hasn't been playing nice lately, but I have a few images to offer up for the past few weeks

VH-OJS, the first 747 I had the pleasure of flying on

Time for another update from Sydney. It's been a somewhat more quiet week, with weather and increasing classwork conspiring to keep me too tired to spot, but here are some keepers from the past 10ish...

At this point I feel the need to provide a small bit of back story for context here. Two weeks ago, I had signed up to be a subject in some silly on campus experiment for some economics post-grad on...

And so beginneth Part 2...

Tuesday, the locals had invited me to accompany them down to Canberra to photograph a very rare and exciting visitor, their first ANA 77W. While I had admittedly shot...

Thank you all for the kind words. Speedbird, only my first post in this thread has photos from the old observation deck. They have only told us it was closed for "operational reasons". We have no...

I know, Fasil! I swear they are multiplying, scored another one today. No idea where they are all coming from...

Thank you, Gy757

Time for this week's installment from Australia. This set comes from SYD's newest spotting location, the rooftop of the Rydges Hotel. While not free, I think you will agree that the view is worth the...

Thank you for the kind words, William.

Quick update from today. Yesterday, disgusted by my laziness having cost me the Thai Airways Star Alliance 747 because I had forgotten to take a look at the...

Thanks Gintaras. With that I have banged out a lot of what I had on my bucket list to snag. Now it'll just be about keeping my eyes out for the odd special scheme or alliance livery I suspect.
