Wedneday 20 June - Sydney

[flying dog]

I was at work, and hear a noise.

 

Didn't think much of it, as there are a lot of noises and though it sounded like a plane, for one to be THAT low, it was probably something else.

 

How wrong I was.

 

Driving home that afternoon I was going down Elizabeth St, just of Wentorth Ave.

 

Looking up in a generally southerly direction I see a plane. LOW FLYING SINGLE ENGINE, High wing. White as.....

 

Nah! It's a remote!

 

Look, look, look. No, hang on. It isn't!

 

It IS a real plane, but it is probably as low as they can legally fly - maybe lower!

 

It flew up over certral station and then NorthWest out over Darling harbour.

 

By that stage I lost visual, as I was driving.

 

I couldn't make out the rego, thinking it wasn't there, but finally did get to make out some black marks on the underside of the wing.

 

But there was bugger all markings on the plane.

 

I think the ONLY marking was the rego under ONE wing.

 

Anyone heard about this?

Just a happy guy making the most of his freedoms?

That's nothing i was sitting at the lights on Park and Elizabeth and a Blackhawk flew down Elizabeth St well below the tops of the buildings i was sure i could hear the pilot going "yahoooo"

Ozzie,

 

That happens quite often.

 

It is the ARMY's "Anit-terrorisum" thing.

 

But seeing a small plane flying around over Central and Darling Harbour - and it must have been doing it for a while as it now makes sence that it was I heard earlier on - is rare, for me anyway.
