Always good therapy

Hey guys,
Well....due to wind conditions and nominated runways it was slim pickings and average quality photos today. I missed the Cathay and Malaysian 777s, (was talking to Adam on the phone), but at least I got the 787-9.










If nothing else you can use the above for underside detail shots of the different types.
Note how the FAA does not require the rego to appear on the undrside of US-registered aircraft.

And some more from TSV
Capt Eric. Any idea why this Q400 is taxying with No1 engine shut down? The next one did the same thing but the third one taxied in with both running. There were no apparent dramas because the first 2 aircraft took off on schedule



I kind of like the QF 737 freighter if ya haven't guessed




You can go for a joyflight in this thing around TSV. He throws it around and lands out the front of my place












Something you don't see everyday

Love em.....keep em coming.
That turbo Beaver is nice.
As we ground handle/turn the Dash 8s here in Melbourne, we were notified a little while ago that they were trialling single engine taxi, guess it is happening around the QLink network.
What's that cool little orange thing screaming in over the palm trees???

Yet some more from TSV. This time some, but not all of the Cessna Caravans I work on










VH-NDC Landing on Palm Is


Delivering a battery to fix VH-XDU on Palm Is

Apparently this baby Caravan is a QLD government aircraft

No dramas mate. I've got heaps. BTW the red seaplane is a Grumman Seacat http://www.redbaronseaplanes.com.au/ Most of the 'arty' shots are just using my phone. Pretty happy with them. More to come. Just have to upload them to Photobucket

Some Essendon DC3 action

Everytime this old girl would start up I used to run out the RFDS hangar and smell that sweet smell of burnt Aeroshell 120
