It's been a while since I had been plane spotting at our own local airport, Brisbane airport, and even longer since my co-pilot (daughter) has come out with me.
So, with the street riots in New Caledonia brewing, Brisbane has had two French Air Force A330's an Airbus A400 and two Royal Australian Air Force C-130J Hercules coming and going regularly, and with the arrival of a very special livery on Air Canada, the temptation was far too great not to go out.
Just as we drove onto the airport perimeter, we noticed on Flightradar24 one of the French Air Force Airbus A330's was lining up for departure. So, I pulled over and managed to get the departure. From there I managed to get a photo of the Airbus A400.
From there we headed up to the top-level domestic carpark where my friends at Julia Flights were streaming live. If you haven't seen her stream yet, you can view it here.
