LOL. That was something I didn't get, Freebies! I thought that Qantas and some other airlines would have some planes there??? There wasn't anything relating to airlines in the trade halls either that I could see.

Ohh that's a shame mate, you left way too early! It was awesome once it started to get dark!!!

From memory it's from another airline but I can't think for the life of me who it was! It's a Sunday, too tired to think! lol

Hey guys. I seen the B1 at the Airshow, really cool aircraft especially the after burners during the Boeing Friday Night Alight show! Does anyone know if the new A330 for Virgin Blue will have the same livery as the B737's and E-Jets or the new livery that Virgin Blue has been talking about?

I'm thinki9ing of going on the Friday night. I went to the Sunday of the last Airshow and it was a shocker! It was cold, blowing a gale and you could hardly hear the commentary. It won't be the same this year as the F-111 won;t be doing the dump and burn :( . I hope that I can meet some of the other members of this forum there too.

WOW!!!!!! Great shot.

Hey Fellas. It was a good story. That pilot was awesome in a crisis. Shame you missed it Chainy.

Hi Daz, welcome back to you too! lol

With Christmas just 1 day away I thought I would ask everyone what was on their wish list.

If you had $400 Million, what plane would you get?

I would get a Boeing 777-200LR.

Thankyou John. Many returns to you and Fay. Merry Christmas Everyone.

Now that the boards resident mad man has cast his vote, I think that through all of the trouble that they have had this year Boeing has still always been a favorite of mine.

Well hello my fellow Avgas Sniffing Aviation loving friends.

I haven't been around for a while now but I can now officially say that I'm Back and Better than Ever. I have popped in every so often but just been so busy to evan check anything out.

I would like to say that I have been looking at other forums (not posting) and can say that the fighting and bitching that goes on is pathetic. I love this Forum and all of it's members.

If anyone has had a birthday during the past 6 months, Happy Birthday and if there has been any other news please let me know as I have been having personal issues that have dogged me for at least 6 months now.

Great to be back!!

Hey Dan!Nice to see you on here, flying Rex are we, to Mt G?

Well Hello Everybody. I hope you missed me. How was everybodys Christmas/New Year? What did everyone do? I was commentating at Speedway for 6 nights between 26th Dec and 3rd of Jan. Plan to go out to Melbourne International Airport for some spotting either tomorrow or early Thirsday. I am going home for the weekend so another flight for your favorite Uncle.

Awesome pictures.

They where lucky. They used all of the 3600km runway and where lucky to get up.

Hey Chainy,

How did you calibrate that Melbourne Satalite Picture for Plane Plotter? I want to get it.

Wish they would fly the A346's into Melbourne. Can't wait to see that livery on an A346.

Peronally I am an Airbus fan. Speaking to the pilots at work, they love the Airbus. General feeling is the fear of flying the machine due to it being so different from say the Boeing. They have told me once you start flying the Airbus you don't look back. As for they have a mind of their own, yes, they do have certain characteristics that other aircraft do not. In saying that, you are less likely to get into a sticky situation with the Airbus. It will not let you. It has behaviours that prevent it doing certain things that may jeopardise safe flight.

But what about the 2 seperate A330 incidents that have occurred in the last few years?

Did anyone see the Sunday Night special on the Scarebus? Very Interesting.

Yes, but, but :redface:

But Nothing!!!!!!!!

Get some Photos and get em NOW!!!!!
