Hi Guys,
Any one working in the city this morning with a view of the Swan River would have seen the Caribou Aircraft doing a low level flight over the swan at 09:30 today... Anyone else spot this?

Maybe it pays to have a small camera in hip pocket like carrying a mobile phone.

You'd think thats a good idea........ But the amount of **** I have to carry around my waist [no not fat / beer belly] belt, clips, ID, Mag light, etc etc
Carrying a camera wouldnt be that easy I dont have the room!

2045, Just observed a Qantas large AC on long final to runway 21 and another large AC, over fly AP to Dianella from East at 2000 ft slow and quiet, turn downwind to Gnangarra, turn base leg to outer marker for long final, touch down 2100, apeared to be Air New Zealand. unusual to over fly.
PS. are we going to have a aircraft observations STICKY?
