Guest Chainsaw Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 We have a new one here... Is this a A380, yep for sure. How do I know? I was in the shed and I heard the unusual whine of the A380 go over. I knew from the time it was SIN222. When I check on Planeplotter, surprise! New bird. I have not see a photo yet. She does not even come up in airframes.org. Also didn't show on 16Right ACARS this morning. One of my girls was at the airport and said a SIN A380 was there but she couldn't see the rego. Pricey did you see her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Chainsaw Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Gday Pricey, at least you got to see her. I'd love to see the pic, don't worry about the quality, it's better to capture the moment. A dodgy pic is better than no pic. btw SKD is in this morning, arrived very early too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pricey Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Not sure what happened! No photo - all I got was the fire station near the stand off bays on Gen Holmes Drv. Sorry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Chainsaw Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I did see her on PP just before overflying your place. I was hoping you might be out there ;) Nice pic mate considering the conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Chop Chop Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Damn I wish I could have been out at Melbourne International this morning. Plenty of newbies (that I have never seen before). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
