Hello IFC! This morning I went planespotting at YSCB (Canberra International) and I found a new spot. It’s a carpark for the offices near the airport, but it has an amazing view of departures/arrivals to Runway 35! It’s also next to the QantasLink hangar so you may find some 717s right next to the parking lot! Enjoy my photos!
Qatar lauched their daily service to Canberra only last Monday! (12th of Feb.) It’s awesome having another 777 coming to Canberra! I love the shot I got of the tire smoke on landing! Funny how the regestration is A7-BAE, since Valentine’s Day was only 3 days ago!
I hope you enjoyed these pictures! I’ll be going planespotting more at YSCB, so expect more pictures in the future!
(All pictures are mine. If you would like to use one, please ask me first and give credit to me. Thanks.)
Thanks so much! Yes, it’s definitely a nice aircraft. I’m yet to see the Singapore Airlines 772 land, but I think it will be as fantastic as this!
@PlaneCrazy Thank you! I agree, I would say you’re standing about 20-30 meters away from the aircraft. Makes for some great pictures, especially when there is no fence blocking your view!
Those are some great photos! Especially the smoke on touchdown when the 777 was landing. I also like the close-up photos of the 717s. I hope to see more pictures from you.
Thank you! The 717 was so close I could see the pilot’s and copilot’s facial expressions! I love the smoke too, one of my favourite shots from this spotting trip.
I would say I’m about 20-30 meters away from the 717 (Taxiway Bravo), maybe even less! I’ll check when I go out this arvo to see the Qatar 77W takeoff, I’d love to get the same pictures I got with the 717, except with a 77W!
Awesome shots! It’s nice to see Canberra getting more and more attractive to tourists and foreign airlines. Anyway, did you get a photo of SIA 772 too?
QantasLink Dash 8 Q400 (VH-LQH) Notice how they had there spoilers armed right until they began takeoff roll. Not sure why, but interesting to say the least! Also got photobombed by A7-BAE sneaking around the corner!
Just you wait until tomorrow, my grandad will hopefully be taking me out to see it! If you want I can tag you so you can get notified when I post the photos. Expect photos around 11:30 AM AEDT tomorrow.
Today I went out to see the Singapore Airlines 772! @George I met another spotter who was really nice and gave me some tips! I also caught a few surprises such as the RAAF Challenger and the QantasLink Q400 New Livery. The Virgin Australia 737-800 was a pretty new aircraft because it was fitted with bright LEDs as landing lights!
