red750 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 A Sydney Airport worker drove his vehicle into the engine of a parked Jetstar aircraft. They're so small they are easy to miss, although in this instance, he didn't miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

facthunter Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) Do you mean the UTE ? It was parked wasn't it. Anyhow I think there's clearance lines marked out and I wouldn't think you'd leave a vehicle inside them . The plane should be keeping an eye out also .. Expensive and shouldn't happen.

facthunter Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Was it being towed? That is not very common. Mostly it's just push back to a position clear of the finger and disconnect the tug. Nev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippydiesel Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 When I drive past Sydney Airport (Mascot) I see plenty of parked aircraft, well away from the terminal buildings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 The ones coming and going are the biggest % of apron movements. Was the plane under it's own power? Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
