Neat pic Hensley - very nice looking plane.

Ordinarily I probably wouldn’t bother with ‘just another Cessna’ photo, but I just happened to like this shot.
Written on 2020年 08月 07日 by Gavin Hughes
The wind was just enough to give this a few rolling moments on final and an opportunity of a pic like this along with a couple with the starboard wing lower. In the position shown, it is between the end of the runway and the piano keys.
This picture of 5219X was taken at the old 1W2 Baltimore Airpark in 1997. There is a video of it flying on youtube under Baltimore Airpark.

Ripper shot!

Sweet! Both shots are great, I caught VT-AND in 2010 when it came to KSKF. I always liked their livery with the paint silhouette around every window, I remember drawing that on a 747 as a kid.

Glad you got it!
This is Mriya, not Antheus.

This is the arrival of one of the regular weekday flights between Adelaide and mining town Prominent Hill carrying predominantly fly in/fly out workers.
Written on 2020年 08月 06日 by Gavin Hughes
A bit mundane being only a Virgin 738, but the slight bank angle of the plane made a more interesting shot. The wind wasn’t strong but occasionally there was a flukey gust, just enough in this case to give the starboard wing a lift.

Not the ideal time of day for a pic of a departure off runway 23 with the sun only just to the north side of the runway, but you have to take the opportunities that present and for a chance at an Air India aircraft AND a short fuselage 787, one has to be there.

An extremely rare event, and possibly the only one ever, an Air India flight into Adelaide. This was another repatriation flight and this time from New Delhi, India and was an 11 and a quarter hour direct flight.
Written on 2020年 08月 06日 by Gavin Hughes
The plane stayed overnight and departed at 1013 the next morning for Melbourne then back to New Delhi.
These flights, HKG-SYD-ADL-HKG, had been for July but have been extended until the end of August at this stage.

When 05 is the operational runway, head-on or near head-on shots (depending where you’re standing) become available. The aircraft at this point is about 400 m (1300 ft) from the piano keys.
This is the allowed regular weekly passenger flight from, and return to, Singapore, the only regular international passenger flight to and from Adelaide during the coronavirus pandemic.
Written on 2020年 08月 06日 by Gavin Hughes
The Virgin 738 in the background was not in service at the time. Other than international flights, only gates 23 - 26 are being used for all domestic flights allowing necessary close control of arriving passengers.
This had arrived the previous day on a repatriation flight from Amritsar, India, via Kuala Lumpur. MAS aircraft have been taking a few pax out of Adelaide, but I don’t know if any were aboard this flight.

Another Queen of the skies destined for retirement or a refit for use as a freighter. Good shot Gavin.

Cupla weeks ago, and thanks for the compliment.

Thanks Tom. I don't know of Classic Airliners but nevertheless, it would be good to be able to fix up those old films. The video program I use has some capabilities, but more with colour correction and steadying jerky action. I've not investigated it fully - time and all those other life hindrances, lol.

Thanks Tom. Some film was better than others and this had to be one of the better ones.

Thanks for the compliment Tom and thanks for the hint. I don't have the slides anymore but do have access - all donated to the SA Aviation Museum. One day perhaps when all scanning is done (doing negs these days) and there's nothing else to do...

Tom, Uwe, Dwight and Don - a big thank you.

Great shot Mike - assuming this is Aug 6, got it two days earlier when it was here.

Superb pic - so good to make that dramatic shot when you get them that close.

The pilot appears to be looking at me. Perhaps he thought I was going to reach up, grab a skid, and hitch a ride. Truth be told, N212HP was so low I just may have been able to have touched the left skid as it went by overhead.

I had the greatest surprise of my entire life last summer when I was offered the private use of this fabulous classic aircraft for an afternoon flight. I was even more stunned when I was told I could invite seven others to come along. And to top it all off, the pilot for the flight was going to be a world-record holder. I could not truly believe it was not just a dream ... until we were all aboard and taxiing to take off. I will never, ever, ever forget this ultra-extraordinary experience, and I will never, ever, ever be able to repay the owner, the pilot, the copilot, and the flight stewardess for giving me and my invitees the most fabulous afternoon flight any of us will ever have.
