The General Airplane Thread

I would guess that is from the airshow on July 1/2 at Tinker Air Force Base. Over the weekend and on my way to the north side of OKC, I saw the C-17 and KC-135 on their approach for their Refueling Demo.

This was taken on July 2nd at 11:56 AM so that sounds reasonable. Would explain the pattern of its route on the map.

Been pretty much indoors with the repeated heat advisories going on (Can't even take my dog in a leisurely stroll without suddenly breaking into a Sweating and I'm not out of shape) so might be abit before I post plane photos.

I have however caught some interesting screens on the flightradar24 app once again:

Over the weekend my family and I were in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario and decided to check out the Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre.

Bush pilots are insane.

I finally went on a 787-9 to Perth

The A330-200 I flew back on

And something quite cursed being from Melbourne: A QANTAS Link A320

Not a plane picture, but I just had to share this comment

I went to Melbourne Airport last week and saw this parked up:

The Sultan Of Brunei was in town for the ASEAN Conference and turned up in his 747-8. I also saw an A320 with the Cambodian flag on it, a Philippine Airlines A330-300, a Vietnam Airlines 787-9 and a Thai Airways 787-8, which I assume were chartered for said conference. That wasn't all though.

I saw the following aircraft arrive:
Cathay Pacific Cargo 747-8F
Sri Lankan A330-200
Air New Zealand 777-300

And depart:
Cathay Pacific A350-900
Qatar Airways A350-1000
Jetstar 787-9
Etihad 787-9 in the F1 livery

Along with all the usual domestic stuff. I don't go to the airport often, but when I do, I tend to spot a lot of good stuff.
