few 777's aswell (Including a Thai flight not using their usual A340)[/quote]

Thai are no longer using their A340's (I was going to go on them to BKK but no personal tv screen - the switch was made to QANTAS)

When I saw the A380's in SIN they disappointed me. Not nearly as large as I thought.

777 takes over in our winter and a340 in our summer

We loitered around Rangitoto in the Duchess while it was setting up for its pass along the city - got a fantastic view.

the duchess.... out of ardmore?? from ardmore flying school??? just curious as im a student out there at the moment

[Nunner]

Big, boring and far too quiet.
(My opinion only before i get attacked by a gang of marauding greenies)
Bring back Concorde I say, sleek,quick,smokey and bloody noisy just what real aircraft are all about, oh and doesn't look
anything like anything else flying, well that was flying I mean.

Well I can vouch for the quiet bit - I had kept an ear cocked for when it flew past, coming down the East Coast.
Not a peep, and I realised at midday it must've eased on by.
Hope we get a few nice A2A and spotter shots from those who were more alert!

[Brennanx]

Bottom of the page is that you in the Duchess?

[travnz]

Leo were you in JED??
I snapped you on approach from the top of redoubt rd.
Everyone was laughing at it haha

[FlyingKiwi]

Brennanx - Haha, yeah that would be us in the bottom of the frame there - that was a lot of fun!

Goose - Yes, I'm at AFS too.

I'm a student - there are a few other current or ex AFS people on this forum as well, good to see the population is growing.

My Dad sent me a few pics he snapped at work last week to post here:

Very clean shots.

It's not THAT big........

It would look nicer or cleaner if it didn't have such a bulge nose and a big 'forehead' I think

Can anyone prove that SQ is flying to AKL with A380 on peak days evening flight?
PS as im temporary outside NZ, i was able to visit airshow in Kiev(AviaSvit) and made some photos of An-225, An-22. Also meet some spotters and made photos in Borispol Airport(with B732 and classic 737 with winglets), also visited some museums(photos of TU-160, TU-95). Do you want to see that?

The lot and from many angle and views , in underneath closeups .. exactly what a SPY would do ......

[benwynn]

No, Singapore does not fly the A380 to AKL, and has no intentions to.
