Remarks:Fingal Beach climbing to our cruising altitude of 38,000ft as Velocity 724 OOL-MEL on a quick weekend trip for the Avalon Airshow. My first VA-coded flight with Virgin. :( Taken from seat 23F. [1400px]
Remarks:Emirates 435 setting course for BNE in the evening just after departure from AKL on my first ever B77W flight. I was in heaven for 3 hours despite the 1.5 hour delay, and who wouldn't be considering the sound output of those GE90s?! Taken from seat 35K.
Remarks: Onboard Velocity 813 en-route from Melbourne to Sydney as we cruise at 37000 feet. This flight was originally scheduled to be operated by an Airbus A330-200, however a few months earlier Virgin took A332s off the MEL-SYD-MEL route. Photo taken from Seat 29A. My 200th photo on Jetphotos.net!
Remarks: Singapore-bound SQ232 makes a left bank over Cruwee Cove and out toward the Tasman Sea shortly after departing Sydney's RWY16R. This view of the Pratts powering over land and sea is now gone forever with the retirement of the last Singapore 744 in April 2012. [1200px.]
Remarks: The fortress Koenigstein "The Saxon Bastille" at the river Elbe near Dresden/Germany. This fortress is one of the biggest hilltop fortifications in europe.
