flying dog Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 "Yesterday" (Thursday 11 May) I was in Newtown (Sydney) and looked up at a plane taking off. My hands were dirty as I was eating food at the time. Approximately 15:30 C-5 Galaxy taking off 34 L. Started turning West. After a few minutes and when my hands were clean I loaded my flight tracker. Expanded from Sydney and went NW. The ONLY heavy I could see, coming from Sydney. Clicked on it. QF-1 I thought QF-1 was the first morning flight out of Sydney. Anyone? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 There have been 2 US C5 Galaxy aircraft in Australia unloading cars etc for the US President's visit in a few weeks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flying dog Posted May 12, 2023 Author Share Posted May 12, 2023 (edited) Yes, but..... GQ-1? And it said JUMBO.... Not C5 Galaxy. And..... Today (the next time I thought to load the tracker) that flight had gone to Singapore. Ok once clear of Sydney it could have "hidden" or what ever. Just the time for me to see/find QF-1 departing Sydney throws a spanner in my works. And I shall stand corrected there are/were C-17's shown in Sydney on the late news. AND I am not sure if it was a C-5 or C-17. It was Military. High wing and 4 engines. Sorry for saying C-5 and not 4 engine high wing military jet.
