Spotting on my Birthday

Today being my birthday my Co-Pilot and Cabin Crew (wife and kids) got up early, which believe me is a big deal in our house, and took me out to the airport to do some plane spotting.
I haven't been out to Brisbane airport doing any spotting since 26th January so I was really looking forward to it.
As we drove over the Gateway bridge we could see a few aircraft at the logistics apron, so before we went to the turning circle we went for a drive past.

Once home the girls gave me my presents and amongst the many items was this bespoke boarding pass and a beautiful heart felt message on the back of the pass.


















Every year my wife makes me a cake with something to do with aviation. I have had a tower, a scanner, a runway, a few planes and this year I got a tail of my favorite airline of all time.
