One for Chainy

[Guest Darren Masters]

Here you go mate. Best pic I could get of her out of my crew window this afternoon in AKL. She was rolling at 2012 for SYD when I was leaving to go home. Sound was magic!

 

 

 

[Guest Chainsaw]

Many many thanks Dizza. I just love DHE, very nice :)

 

 

[Guest Darren Masters]

Wish I had pulled up when she departed. The black smoke in the sunset was magic! :biggrin:

 

 

[Guest Chainsaw]

DHE on approach to Sydney now (9:07pm). She leaves, she comes back, just like a beautiful lady LOL

 

 

[Guest Darren Masters]

One of these afternoons I will have to get a pic of her departing into the sunset. Now that would be nice

 

 

[Guest Chainsaw]

That would be nice Daz. Why not record her too *grin*

You just reminded me to pick up my video camera next time I go to Aus

Hey Guys,

 

Is she in YSSY every night?

 

I might try and get down there now that the evenings are lighter...

 

 

[Guest Chainsaw]

Pricey, she comes in around 9pm ish and leaves 10:35pm approx.

 

There used to be a daytime Sat flight, but not sure if she still does that. I'd have to check the logs from this weekend.

 

 

[Guest Chainsaw]

Oh I don't think Fridays mate.

 

 

[Guest Darren Masters]

NZOM will know

 

 

[Guest Chainsaw]

I do remember they suspended the Sat flight for a while, but not sure if its back. Sometimes its not easy being a few hundred kms from YSSY. I used to live close enough to hear and see her.

At 2030 today (Saturday) she was still sitting on the pad in AKL so I would say Sat is out of the question.

Have we discussed this here before? I'm getting dejavu!Can't remember off the top of my head and cant find the appropriate email from last time .. but I think Chainy is correct on weekday flights only

Yes we have discussed this before...and will again. DHE is such a beautiful bird, I could talk about this every week :)

 

btw Pricey, if you are listening to ATC her call sign is usually Tasman1 (at the moment).

Hey Guys,

 

Okey Dokey, gonna try and get down there sometime this week or next...

So me and the Missus are heading for the shops this afternoon, I took the camera just in case we saw something interesting as we drove past, and guess what I spied taxiing for a 34L take-off at about 5pm ON A SATURDAY!!!!

 

Finally Mr. Chainsaw Sir, Finally...

Well Pricey...very well captured mate I like the climb-out one. She is part of the furniture here in AKL. I hope for many more years.

 

 

[Guest Glenn]

Very nice

 

 

[Guest Chainsaw]

Good one mate. Always nice to finally get that elusive plane. Oh, the chase :)

 

 

[Guest Chainsaw]

Neil part 'B' of the chase.

 

DHE is off on maintenance during January 2010. A replacement Transmile 722 will be in. Get that camera ready.

 

 

[Guest Darren Masters]

I'm looking forward to that one too Chainy! :biggrin:

 

 

[Guest Chainsaw]

9M-TGG Transmile 722 was on duty last night in Sydney.

 

 

[Pricey]

Spotted it this morning outside DHL around 11.30am. Unfortunately no camera... but next week!

 

 

[Guest Chainsaw]

Thanks Pricey, I you want to see what her engines look like, just look below in my sig ;)

 

Very nice bird.
