Great shots Glenn......moments worth capturing! =D> I enjoy the colours of planes up here in NE VIC but there is a particular time around dusk when they are all like black silhouettes against whats left of the light in the sky so I like that time too..a combination of nature and machines making great scenes. I do like the scenes of aircraft storming towards me near dusk in a blue sky with a red orange sun and / or sunset colouring the backgrounds..with the contrails highlighting the craft as they head toward my place.. :D

Someone once told me to keep one eye in the back of my head..now I know why!

Wow it sure is! Thanks Dave :D

Good one sixties..thanks. :D

Great pic sixties..can I ask where it was taken and when? Thanks for posting it. :)

Hi Jessica..welcome to the TAA family. =D> Great to have you with us. Hope you can share your collecting interests with us all too. :D

Now that you have the great livery, logo and tail Glenn maybe you could come up with a uniform for the crew? We'll all provide the good looks if you can come up with some designs? :lol: yes great days sixties relic ...Ansett ANA and TAA..way to fly. My first flights on each of those..great memories.

Goodonya Darren! Soon Glenn will know what its like to be Sir Richard Branson starting up an airline. What a crew we will have. Maybe we could give zenonie a hand on the muster on our way north too? :D

Thanks Glenn! =D> Might need a hand though..Robbo? Chris? Darren? Any other volunteers :?: Wouldn't it be good up front..maybe once its set on autopilot for me..!LOL....can just imagine the feeling up front on takeoff and landing! =P~

Good one Glenn.. =D> loved the pic. Can I book a seat on the inaugural flight? Window seat business class please if one is still free.! Ta! That pic would make a good T shirt too mayhap? With a plane and colour scheme and logo like that, we could travel the world..any suggested itineraries :?:

Ta for that info! Good thread here. :D

On that link..in the pic with the China airlines taking off...can anyone help what are the plane logos in the background? The one in the middle looks like Tahiti? But I'm not sure about the light blue plane on the left with the red/white/blue symbol or the redblue/silver plane with red stripe on the right? Woul that be US Airways or American Airlines? :?: THanks Tim :)

Cathay Pacific..the flying dragon? Singapore..the silver kris bird? :)

Air New Zealand:- The Koru..the opening fern frond..a Maori symbol. Representing new life, beginnings etc Good thread remiferna.. :D

LOL..yes remembering that tune is a giveaway on our ages! Yes would be great getting some pics of the muster and especially of the work the plane and the pilot do..maybe Channel 7 or another production team should do a tv series or doco up there zenonie? nEnjoy yoruself..hope its a successful roundup. :D

Perhaps we could get or make a vid clip of you mustering from your plane one day? Though no doubt your mind would be on the job..thought a suitable theme would be from the "olde" tv series from the early 1960's..anyone rememebr the theme from "Rawhide" with Clint Eastwood etc. "Move em on head em up..Rawhide?" :D

Enjoy your flying and mustering..hope you get 'em all in without too much fuss! Tim :D

Nice one Nick! Thanks for the post! Great sensation of sight and sound! :D

Good one Robbo! Hope those shorts grow longer for you now that the mornings are getting colder..YMML must be one of the coldest places on winter morns! Icy cold! :P

Re: Hello from Newcastle Yes Nick..great site here..great people. I too like your avatar! Welcome. Tim :D

Glad you are getting on the A 380 Darren. =D> Good for you..enjoy the flight. Tim

G'day Warren! Good to have you on board. Tim :D

Hi Rob..and welcome..good to have you on board! Tim :D

Nice contrails there Glenn.. =D> its a nice plane too. Saw a Vietnam Airlines take off from YMML last Thursday. No contrails or nice overflys here in North East Vic at the moment..cloudy..but occasional sunny patches might provide something! LOL Cheers Tim :D

Some incredible pics there Chris! How would you feel accidentlally slicing into another plane..Omigosh.. :shock: Thanks for posting them..really intriguing.
