I still love F18's

They are sexy. Their sound... Damn.

They're always at Wings Over Illawarra every year. And the C-17.

@south of heaven @K E

Guess whose got Hawk 127's doing aerial training exercises near his place today

Probably mistaken but I've seen what look like these planes flying over my work in Camden today.

Nah quite possible as they can land at Holdsworthy as well I think. I know the Blackhawks come out of there.

Pics?

Nah I only saw it in distance flying away.

The C130J is floating around today too.

The Hercules? Really?

Richmond RAAF Base had their Boeing Globemaster C-17A III out today.

Spewing I didn't have my camera gear out for it, because I was doing the lawns at the time. If I did I'd have got a shot of clear blue skies, with air visually streaming off the entire wingspan of the plane.. looked absolutely amazing!

Yep ... it's doing flyovers today too. Will try and get you a picture as it literally just buzzed straight up our street really low.

Not 100% on that one. Pretty sure there is one based back at Richmond all the time now. It regularly does flight training about once a month around the area, and is often at the airport.

At the moment they are flight testing it for the Formula 1 flyover in March in Melb.

aaaaand as expected... the minute I get the decent camera gear out, they put their toys away *sigh*.

It would only be an hour flight (give or take) from Amberly, certainly not disputing you are seeing the awesome beast there, but it wouldn't make much sense to permanently detach 1 of the 8 from the main squadron at Amberly.

Yeah not sure to be honest.. but I see it around quite a bit as we are well within Richmond RAAF Restricted Flight Path. Possibly depends what it's required for, though with the floods in Townsville I'd be suprised if they arent being used to send supplies, etc.

And the 747 is still going even after 40 years

 

[south of heaven]

@K E me and a mate were learning this one last night a bit of fun these old planes a lot easier to get in the air

50 years. And they still make them! The 747-8, while not very popular, is still made and used by airliners. Granted most of them are the freighter version...

Damn .. end of an era. Amazed that they made something that was actually too big. Emirates pulling their orders for smaller aircraft says a lot.

In my case it's *click everything frantically, realise it's all too complicated, and get annoyed*.
