Remarks: Something to brighten up the otherwise miserable day (weather wise that is). With a heavy-duty garbage bag protecting my camera from the heavy rain, I was able to shoot OQA as she lifted up right in front of the drenched crowd, spraying up water and obscuring the background completely! Vortices can also be seen passing over the leading edge of the wing [EOS 450D 1200px]
Remarks: Wunala takes the early exit from Rwy 16R after flying a repositional flight following maintenance in Avalon (Melbourne). The reflections of all four engines can be seen in the shiny fuselage [EOS 450D]
Remarks: Matt Coughran shoots this Jetstar A320, on short final to Rwy 14 (behind us) over the fantastic (and gloriously mis-used) skate park. This location is very easily accessible, and has ample parking available. Note: Google maps is outdated - the worksite between the the skate park and the airport perimeter fence is now gone, and has been replaced by an open grass field.

Remarks: The calm Qantas Domestic Terminal (T3), a stark contrast to the busy, noisy and cramped T2 just across the road! A replica of one of Qantas' Arvo 504Ks lies on display [EOS 7D 1600px]
