Are these new special liveries? If not, why would a spotter be interested?

They won't tell you. It's private. They will pay for hotel, foods and etc. You can't meet the entire players, coaching, and etc. You have go to ballpark to watch the game. You have pay the ticket.

Well it's prob not just the teams themselves, but their family's, their hangers on and perhaps even a dedicated fan or two.

Hi All,

Here is the video of QF 747-400ER. The registration number is VH-OEJ. Arizona Diamondbacks just came back to PHX today. They went to Sydney for Spring Training trip. I follow down the flight tracker for D-Backs team.

I play the video and also, I am going upload the pics of 747-400ER aircraft sooner or later.

Enjoy!
