My Flight to Alice Springs N T

My flight, Qantas 507 VH-VZV (CN 34189) pushed back right on time at 6.45 am bound for Sydney.
We departed on Runway 19 at Brisbane and the flight down was very smooth and comfortable and took just over the hour. Hour and ten to be exact.
Once we started our descent and we passed through 8,000 (I'm guessing) we went I M C. We didn't break back out until probably 3,000 feet and once we broke out I could see the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera house out to my left as we made our approach for 16L.
As we taxied for for Bay 7 I had the opportunity to get some photos of the internationals movements on my little pocket camera, a Nikon Coolpix 3600.
I had about an hour and twenty on the ground in Sydney before boarding another Qantas 737-800 VH-XZE (CN 39369) to Alice Springs. Again we pushed back right on time at 10.40 Sydney time but we had to wait about 10 mins at the holding point for departure from 16 R.
This flight is usually three hours twenty but we touched down on runway 12 at Alice Spring tens ahead of schedule.
The flight was very smooth and very comfortable and after watching 6 episodes of the Big Bang Therory the flight went very quickly.
As we taxied in I could very clearly see the 5 QANTAS 767's there along with 2 Singapore Tiger Air A320's and and Our Airline 737.
I also noticed a 737 BBJ sporting the Rego 20203 and after I did the ol' Google search I discovered it belonged to the United States Air Force.
