Having spent some time in Perth I decided to take a little flight in an old Qantas 747-200.  

Coming in for a low pass over the runway.  Pretty strong crosswinds are going to make for a tricky landing.

Great view as we decend.

Nearly pulling a Kai Tak due to heavy wind gusts.  

So much for making this landing...Pulling a go around from hell.

Eventualy on the 3rd attempt I made it down safetly.  Wasnt exactly picture perfect though

beautiful shots.. good thing you went around

Lovely plane, a 'proper' one too.  ;D
Livery brings back the 'retro' times, do you think?
Anyway, those landings.... Kai Tak sure has come to Perth

Cheers

That takes me back down memory lane... went to Australia in a kite just like that many many years ago

Did you have to go-around 3 times with a strong crosswind thinking you were at Kai Tak, not Australia?  ;D
I've always wanted to fly on a 742, is it much different to a 744 Ozzy?
Cheers
