Yep, luckily for my contact was notified of all delays so arrived at the airport in time for the landing and a bit...The only one with a scanner...and boy was I popular, would have been more so if it was a transceiver, but then I'm not up for having ACMA and co. coming after me.

Hmmmmm, I did notice someone with what looked like a scanner's antenna sticking out of their pocket ...
Pity we didn't recognise each other at the time - and there I was in my WARSUG shirt as well, which made me stand out from the Iron Maiden-wearing TShirt brigade

I was up on the observation deck to watch the plane come in. And no, I'm not a fan of the band, but my brother has been since his early teens and went to see them play.

bomber you legend, I got some footage of them playing, but I was a bit back and only had my small camera, so the audio is a bit crappy if the volume isn't up loud enough to hear the lyrics...but all the special effects are awesom.
