Remarks:Upwind from RWY16R climbing out of Sydney as VA1421 to Cairns we get a spectacular view of Sydney Airport and is near surroundings. Taken from VH-BZG passing through around 12,000ft. [1400px]
Remarks:Runway 25 operations slow the airport down significantly. N105UA waits to cross 25 on her way to Runway 34L, VH-OGC is about to roll as VH-OGV makes her final approach. 1600 pixels
Remarks:Google Co-Ordinates: -33.949512,151.16591 A fairly new spot in Sydney located a couple of hundred metres south of 'The Beach' which offers a slightly higher perspective of RWY34L and RWY16R in the afternoon when the sun is behind you. This spot is good for spotting closer to sunset as the heathaze will have died down and there is no gate that is closed at sunset unlike at the Old Tower carpark. Tim Bowrey can be seen here in the late afternoon light shooting the departure of SQ242 as it taxi's via alpha to depart RWY34L. My first upload with my new Canon 18-200mm lens. [Canon 500D]
Remarks: A nice variety of Qantas aircraft seen basking in the evening sun after a hard days work. VH-VYB, VH-VYD, VH-TJI, VH-OJL and new OneWorld A332 VH-EBV are seen. [Canon 500D]
Remarks: An early evening light show seen down Sydney's RWY 16R watching an aircraft take-off from RWY 34L as another aircraft is on finals. Certainly a spectacular sight.
Remarks:
As we cruise into the Summer months, lightning and heavy rain starts to become more common in the late afternoon and night time. This large storm out to the west of the airfield was brewing most of the evening before hitting around 8:30pm with heavy rain which can be seen. In the foreground is Terminal 2 with the International over the back. 1200px [Canon 50D]
Remarks:A great mix of size comparrison as well as Boeing vs Airbus on the western hardstand around 10am in Sydney with all these aircraft awaiting their later departure times. Note the old Control Tower to the left which is home of the famous 'Beach' spotting location. 1200px [Canon 50D]
Remarks: A great view of the Domestic Terminal @ YSSY, although i wish i was greeted home to blue skies .. Im not going to even try and count how many aircraft made it into the photo but you can feel free to try ;) .. [1600pxl]
