Folks, VP-BUE currently tracking to the East at FL 370 West of Bathurst and overflying Sydney shortly. Looks as though they are really working this bird.

I went out in hope that I could see it in the distance (100 k's away) but couldn't. Wishful thinking.

 

Lucky I did as a rescue chopper flew directly over my place at 500ft heading to the airport. Unusual as it normally lands on the sports oval.

 

Back to topic. VP-BUE looks like it's going to be a regular visitor

Yeah Glenn. I missed it too due to cloud cover. Just got home from out West not long ago. Bugger this cloud! It followed me home from Katoomba onwards. If it was not here I would have got a good view of it. Oh well, she will be returning soon enough. Don't know if it will be a regular visitor mate just the fishing charters.

Looked to be heading directly over your palce Chainy. I'm tracking it on Google Earth and I have your place pinned, but it has turned left slightly. Need it to keep turning left but we have very light cloud cover here

Chainy, I hope you got a photo mate! It was way left of track over my place but that would have something to do with the Malaysian 777 MH130 (9M-MRF) that was same level and just infront. Other than that I got a good view this time!!!! :biggrin::biggrin:

I would have had it up earlier but for the flaky Sat connection at the moment.

 

Another note about the photo, it was well south of the normal track. It was almost hidden in very high wispy cloud, so to get it was a miracle...oh yea plus I was on the phone to a customer and once again they asked what the clicking was LOL

 

We are soooo addicted here at TAA *grin*

No Glenn not a fisheye. It was taken at 420mm terrible haze too. Only Dazz has the official TAA Fisheye lens *wink*
