Rare Planes - Including My Birthday Treat and APEC
Posted: Fri Sep 14, 2007 6:33 amThese are some photos I have collected over the past two months. Included are some rare aircraft - so, enough talk, lets cut to the photos!
This arrived...about a week before my birthday last month. It brought with it another C-37 and a KC-10. I brought my camera a day late, so I only got one, but at least I saw the other C-37 and single KC-10!
Now this one, is very special. One of my teachers recommended that I visit my dad so that he could still be part of my birthday. Now, I did this, and on my way to the cemetery...I see the big H on approach to runway 16R at YSSY. Coincidence that my teacher recommends this, or did my dad plan this? Well, this Belfast is the "birthday treat" for you!
Russia brought six Il-62s here. :o Eight Ilyushins total, when you count the Il-96 and Il-76. Got this one within five minutes of it taxiing to take-off.
I'm sure this is the one you have all come to see. I watched it at 10:22 (about) PM. Stayed about five hours to see this thing land (missed that part) and park. If one of the UH-60s circling us fired even one bullet...everyone there would die. Blasted HE rounds. Two days later, I went back to the domestic terminal and got this (and hundreds of others - used over half the camera's shot capacity) shot.
Forgive the low quality, I lowered it for personal reasons.
