C-17 at the airport

The Roulette flying along side of it was to take aerial piccies.

Well the buzzing of Canberra caused a stir in our office – 3 laps of the lake/city.
Have some pics, but foolishly left the USB cable at home…
Nice touch having the Roulette fly in formation to underline the size of the mother ship.
Make that 4 laps – it just came around again.
And again – now they’re just wasting fuel.

10-11 we’ll be heading down to try and get a pic

The C17 is supposed to be doing a fly-by over the Lake this morning, just can’t find out when. Hope to snap a piccy out the office window…

The airport is visable from the road on 3 sides so hiding anything larger than a cessna in next to impossible.

I hope they have fixed the missing fence in the construction site near the old Fairbairn airforce base gates. Almost drove onto airside when the Antonov was in town as there was no bollards or fence to stop me.

ignorant of planespotters and their ways?

Say it aint so EQ? You? A fool?

Lucky you weren’t spotted taking the pics!
An intimidating interview with humourless, chunky blokes could have resulted, given the paranoid attitude of the big hardware store and it’s local bonsai deputy.

I watched it land. We had a major outage, but we all still stopped and watch.
Lots of traffic banked up along the road at the bottom of the runway. No picures, sorry.
