16th December

 

Todd and Chainy represented TAA at Sydney Airport for the home coming of VH-EBA B707 (XBA).

 

There was a large number of hardcore spotters gathered underneath the Control Tower (Shep's Mound).

 

As she was on finals, you could see the smoke from her old engines laying a trail that was easy to see. All her landing lights were on as well, making it a spectacular arrival. She slowed and turned right in front of us which was great for picture taking.

 

It is believed she will rest at the Jet Base for a couple of weeks before her trip to Longreach.

Ok, here are some photos from my very brief journey to Sydney to catch this beauty. I was glad I got up at 4 am just to make the 3 hour journey from Canberra to see it on its arrival back home, has made my year.

From the other photos I've seen of this event, your photos are amongst the best Chainsaw and Todd.

 

I'll set up a gallery for your photos, so keep an eye out for it.

Hello All,

 

I know I am a bit late, but just found these two pictures on my laptop, I took them when i went to Southend Airport couple of years ago to have a look at a Cirrus SR22.
