Spoke to the captain of this one at flight school the day before, turns out he’s an Aussie 🫡

Kalitta. Can’t remember what event this was for, a concert or smthing maybe

B2 at Amberley (QLD)



Qantas 100 Years - Bonus points to anyone who knows the name of this aircraft

Scoot under lights

A semi failed experiment from April

These photos were taken primarily at Sydney (YSSY) and then also at Amberley (YAMB)

Also the Dallas part was a joke, i think

Um, actually, the B787 is made out of 50% composite, 20% aluminum, 15% titanium, 10% steel, and 5% other, so isn’t a metal bird 🤓

Jokes aside, great shots. Is JetStar really that bad?

I really like this special livery on the Qantas 787, it would look good on Infinite Flight.

Really shows how lighting plays a huge roll in the quality of an image! Nice job at capturing that.

The rarest out of all B2 almost looks like Batman flying mobile

It’s pretty cool, but i can’t help but notice the irony in the naming of these planes “invisible defenders” when they are quite clearly visible

It’s so unbelievably hot and sticky in Singapore. But sitting in a pool in that weather with a singapore sling is a vibe and a half

Such a good looking plane hey! Yeah would’ve been nice, not gonna happen unfortunately aha

Thanks! Certainly does, always been about getting that perfect light

All those are metals so…

Composites are just carbon fiber and some sort of bonding agent, so no those aren’t all metals.

“Other” is my favourite type of metal

It may not happen, sometimes infinite flight adds special liveries like KLM’s 777 Orange pride.

I’m not sure if that KLM livery is still in place.

Isn’t it VH-ZNJ?
