Guest richmondtroy Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 Does anyone know where Air force one is landing at tonight. There is a build up of police at windsor and along the RAAF base at Richmond. Any chance he may be landing there?
Guest Chainsaw Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 Troy, Don't know for sure, but I thought AF-One was landing at YSSY. Maybe some ancillary aircraft like AF-TWO etc? We shall soon find out eh..:)
fly boeing Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 have read it is landing at sydney airport about 10pm
Guest richmondtroy Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 just had a business jet land from the american air force...had a blue belly like AF1 but obviously much smaller.
Guest Mick.B Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 Probably SAM 2000. It always comes in before AF1. It is a Gulfsteam.
Uncle Chop Chop Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 Isn't there a C-17 Galaxy that carries everything that goes with the President that lands before Air Force 1? I remember seeing it on the National Geographic Special entitled Air Force One.
Guest Chainsaw Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 AF One picked up over Perth 6:00pm local Adelaide at 8:20pm local
Uncle Chop Chop Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 Where will it be Parked? I wish I was there to get a picture of it.
Guest Chainsaw Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 Somewhere west of the big pond LOL My guess is near Qantas Jet base. Prob Pres Putin will reverse park his IL right next to it.
Guest richmondtroy Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 Your right Mick B, it was a gulfstream that came into Richmond this afternoon.
Guest Chainsaw Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 Backup 747 just passed over Adelaide a few mins ago. About 10:00pm
Guest Mick.B Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 Thanks for the real time updates Chainsaw.
Guest Darren Masters Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 Guys, sorry I have not been on here for a while. Will catch up with everything soon. Have had some dramas. Thanks to those that listened to my live YSSY feed tonight. Hit the over 300 listeners at once! A record for my live feed. I normally stream departures to the West of YSSY and some other frequencies but re-program the scanner for special events such as this one so it was well worth while! Not wrong about the quick calls though! Sneaky buggers!!! If you want archived audio of the feed this evening go to http://www.liveatc.net and into archives. Should be there when uploaded. Now, to program my scanner back to normal...thanks again for listening all. See you on the forums from tomorrow :D
Guest Glenn Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 Thanks for the running commentaries everyone. Robbo, file not found
Guest Glenn Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 Talk about talking fast. It's difficult to hear what they are saying
Guest richmondtroy Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 just drove past Richmond RAAF base and there is Air force 1 backup 747, a US air force 757, c-17, and the gulf stream that accompanies AF-1. There is a good view of the aircraft as you drive past but dont stop for pics as there are clearways right along the base and i'm sure you will be pounced on the moment you try and stop for a shot. Troy
