Let me know which day/time suits others in BNE and I will try to catch you all at a suitable vantage point with camera in hand.
Given the size of the crowd is was standing amongst at the Paris Airshow and still got a good view of it flying, I am sure there will be plenty of good places to watch. We will need to predict which directions for arrivals and departures on the day. Most
early morning arrivals are over the bay towards the south, but morning. But once a good mix of arrivals and departures are scheduled, operations follow the wind conditions.
An arrival overflying the Gateway Bridge would make for great photography.
For anyone who missed this link in the other A380 thread, you can see my photos from the
Paris Airshow here. Unfortunately, the activities in Australia will not include multiple circuits as performed at Le Borget in June.
