Plane spotting

Post by jasonjag »

As a fanatic of Planes, I observed a Boeing 777 glide over the top of me in Carine today without a sound, watching it banked a little to left and lost sight of it behind trees, as too far from perth Airport, a lovely sight at 2000 ft above and tail marking looked like Italia ?.

Could have been Emerites, it was right above me ans the turn was when i saw the tail colours, hard to tell at that distance. Thanks for that great picture.
