Sydney Overflies

[Guest Darren Masters]

For those that have a severe case of aviationitis (like myself), I have compiled a list of aircraft overflying Sydney on a daily basis (some of them).These are the aircraft that you obviously can see the contrail behind as they pass.Routes are NZ to Asian countries and vice versa.You can normally hear them on the following freq approaching and overhead Sydney. Melb Centre: 133.500 Melb 125.000 and Brisbane Centre 128.600.Chainy, some of these flights most likely pass your neck of the woods too mate :D If you have any more (or can spot any errors which there should not be) kindly contribute below. Yes, I always track these on ACARS and run out to observe them when they are overhead.Nothing like the SQ 281 at 18.00 most nights with a nice dark blue contrail behind it after the just-set-sun!! :D Bear in mind these are times for aircraft when they are overhead my area (Penrith). Here's the list for those interested:

 

SQ 298 CHRISTCHURCH TO SINGAPORE APPROX 11.35 AM ON MON, TUE, WED, THUR, SAT, SUN

 

 

 

MH 130 AUCKLAND TO KL APPROX 13.50 PM ON MON,WED,THUR,FRI,SAT

Karen & I were on the way back from the farm on the M4 in Sydney today (7 May) when we noticed a couple of cars in front of us using all 3 lanes, then I saw the MH130 overfly with a huge contrail. Yes, they were looking too. Damn, that meant I couldn't road rage them - it was a good reason to wander.

 

 

[Guest Darren Masters]

Chainy, you are in luck my friend :D Here is a little 'souvenir' for you. This is the actual MH130 overfly you saw. I'm just off the M4. Next time, drop in!!!Rego was 9M-MRG. Enjoy!

 

PS Does this prove I am a sick sick man when it comes to aircraft?

 

 

 

[Guest Glenn]

You need a bigger lens ;)

 

 

[Guest Chainsaw]

Context Glenn, its all about seeing the contrail in its correct context (yea? cough)

 

 

[Guest Darren Masters]

Ha ha ha. I need lots of things (one being a bigger lens) but yes, I like to capture the whole moment (good excuse for having a very average camera anyway). You know, on a different note,all those shots you see from the aerochute and other flying ones are via that little Kodak Easy Share cam.Not bad those yeah?

 

 

[Guest Chainsaw]

The is a growing obsession with having to have the best camera, the best and sharpest image etc. I say just get the moment recorded!

 

 

[Guest Darren Masters]

And Singapore 285 bright and early this morning. 9V-SMU

 

 

 

[Guest Darren Masters]

Ok here are some more. Hopefully they are a 'little' better Glen. Nothing flash I know but here goes. They were taken today.

 

MH 130 9M-MRC

 

 

And SQ 286 9V-SPA

 

 

I know they are not perfect but better than before right????

 

 

[Guest Glenn]

But I can't see the passengers looking out the windows :P

 

 

[Guest Darren Masters]

But I can't see the passengers looking out the windows

I tell you what. When you come along for the Queens Birthday bash at my folks farm you can bring your lens and I am sure we could arrange that! :lol:

 

 

[Guest Chainsaw]

Yea much better Darren :)

 

Hey, I didn't think Cessna 172's could leave a contrail.

 

That....is.....a 172 right?

 

heh heh heh

 

 

[Guest Darren Masters]

That....is.....a 172 right?

Sure was Chainy...with a major fuel leak :lol:

 

 

[Guest Darren Masters]

And SQ281 passing over our place at 1805 this evening shot with my 'little lens'. Oh well, you get the picture. Looks amazing in the sunset with the contrail.

 

 

 

[Uncle Chop Chop]

Fantastic Pictures People. We get alot of overflies where I am but that is right under the flight path for Rwy 34. Some decent heavies sometimes.

 

 

[Guest OzChris]

Looks like they have the after burners on :lol:

 

great shot!

 

 

[Guest Glenn]

[Guest Darren Masters]

Don't laugh people. Glenn has seen my 'little lens'. Ha ha :lol: Thanks for the comments though.
