We have a new one here...

 

 

Is this a A380, yep for sure. How do I know? I was in the shed and I heard the unusual whine of the A380 go over. I knew from the time it was SIN222. When I check on Planeplotter, surprise! New bird.

 

I have not see a photo yet. She does not even come up in airframes.org. Also didn't show on 16Right ACARS this morning. One of my girls was at the airport and said a SIN A380 was there but she couldn't see the rego. Pricey did you see her?

Yes indeedeee, fist revenue flight into Sydney, 2nd flight this afternoon. A brand newy. Thanks to BobC for the info.

Damn it Mr. Chainsaw Sir. I got there just as it was taking off. Got a photo that I will add to this thread tomorrow (if it's any good!)...

 

 

[Guest Chainsaw]

Gday Pricey, at least you got to see her. I'd love to see the pic, don't worry about the quality, it's better to capture the moment. A dodgy pic is better than no pic.

 

btw SKD is in this morning, arrived very early too.

 

 

[Pricey]

Not sure what happened! No photo - all I got was the fire station near the stand off bays on Gen Holmes Drv.

 

Sorry...

Here she is in and out of the low cloud this morning on the SQ221 inbound to Sydney after diverting to Melbourne due to fog .. She passing about FL120 on descent at this point over my place , 34 NM SW of the SYD VOR ..

I did see her on PP just before overflying your place. I was hoping you might be out there ;)

 

Nice pic mate considering the conditions.

Damn I wish I could have been out at Melbourne International this morning. Plenty of newbies (that I have never seen before).
