Remarks: Wunala Dreaming starting it's take off roll for another long journey accross the Pacific. I would follow about 2 hours later abroad a company 747-400ER! (1Dmkii/100-400LIS)
Remarks: After a fantastic two week stay down under it was time for me to make my way home to the UK. Unlike most people i had decided to fly via American and the Pacific/Atlantic and not via Asia. Departing on a Qantas 'Extended Range' 744 we started our long journey accross to the pacific ocean to LAX. A very weird flight to fly due to the face that crossing the international dateline means you arrive in LA on the same day as you departed Sydney about 5 hours before you left. A good way of extending your birthday! (1dmkii/17-40F4L)
Remarks: So it took me a long time to finally be in the same place as this giant red 744 but i manged to do it! Missed it at LHR, missed it at JFK, missed it at LAX and even flew LAX-MEL and didn't get a ride on it! Here's my first shot of Qantas's 'Wunala Dreaming'. Looking lovely despite the cloudy weather. Hopefully i'll get it again in nice light sometime! (1dmkii/100-400LIS)
Remarks: The christening of the aircraft was in 2004 when named after famous Hungarian biochemist Szent-Györgyi Albert. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1937. HA-LHA was retired from the fleet and sold in 2007. The first Hungarian 767-200ER is operating as PR-VAC at Varig.
Remarks: Love those CFM56-2C engines! We are heading back to Sal Island, Cape Verde after another long flight to study the birth of tropical hurricanes off the west coast of Africa during the NAMMA 2006 mission.
Remarks: Flying approximately 75 feet off the wing of NASA's DC-8 aircraft during a research flight to study the birth of hurricanes off the coast of West Africa.
