Some days, on the way to the museum, instead of going through the shopping precinct I go down to Eagle St and walk the footpath along the river. This usually gives me a great view of planes departing YBBN. In among all the two-engined hotrod types, I still get to see ye olde 747s...there really is something majestic about the the way they just hang there on climbout :plane:
