Public holiday means plane spotting day

Today is a public holiday in Brisbane for the Brisbane show day (EKKA).
While most people sleep in I got up early and went out to the airport for a few hours to grab the early morning movements.
Below are some of the two hundred and thirty photos I took in the three hours I was there.

I pulled up on the side of the road to grab the arrival of Malindo, which is an aircraft I don't see very often due to its early arrival and departure times.

Malindo B737-8GP 9M-LNR (CN 39836)
















When I got to the fire station spotting area I noticed some ground fog which made for some good photos especially with the city in the background.

While I was there one of the newly painted Qantas 737's come out and this was the first time I have seen this new scheme on the 737, it wasn't long when another one came in from Cairns. I also got to see three new Alliance aircraft that I haven't seen before.
