Thought I'd like to share this video with you

Amazing video !

 

Sydney is the perfect place for Aircraft spotting.

So British Airways are back in Sydney? I thought they pulled out.

Where did you hear that? They're no longer partners with QF - if that's what you mean?

 

Nice to see the 77W on BAW15/16 - shall do that trip indeed.

I'm pretty sure BA pulled its twice daily 744s off that route and replaced it with a single daily 77W service, LHR-SIN-SYD and reverse.

I don't believe BA had two via SIN. Almost sure one went through BKK or HKG. But you're correct by saying they only have one a day now. To be honest - I'd go via Dubai with Emirates if I ever wanted to go from Heathrow/Gatwick.

What I meant was that the single daily now operates via SIN, I wasn't talking about the previous twice daily ones. :smile:

Ahh my bad Ryan   

 

Australia/New Zealand are two places I really want to visit in the real world. So some of my first destinations once the 777 is released  ^_^ Never actually been that side of the world on FSX either!

You really should come and visit one day! With ORBX, OZx freeware and Ants airports, I would say we probably have some of the best FS scenery going! (no bias there at all-hehe)

Honestly, ORBX Australia plus a couple of airports from the region is the best money I've ever spent in FSX!

 

Love doing those inter-Australian flights in the NGX with VOZ and QFA. Just waiting for the FSLabs A320 and I can throw JST into the mix!

I love the Virgin Australia livery on the Tripp 7. It's so simple but so elegant and shows off how upscale the airline really is.

Not such an Airbus man myself, I think I'll use the t7 and pretend that thats what QFA uses on all interstate Aus flights.

I think the new livery is nice, it's very crisp and clean, however I still miss the "hybrid" (as seen below) VOZ international livery :(, IMO it is the best of all 3.

Ba stop using the 747-400 on march 30 2013 and ba changed there summer schedule to one service daily to Sydney via Singapore they now use 777-300ER from the 1 April after flying the 747 on the Sydney route for 42 years from Paudie

Man, Virgin Australia spared no expense on that livery...

 

(not that I don't like it...)
