Sunday - Sydney - Spotting

Having a new rep starting tomorrow I was due to come down to Sydney anyway, but my wife suggested I go down a day earlier and do some spotting at Sydney airport for the day.. I didn't argue with that. I was really surprised that the 6.30am flight on a Sunday was full, I was expecting it to be almost empty. I have been looking forward to today and I was pleasantly surprised when I got to the gate as I came down on the Retro Roo 1. The flight down was really smooth and we landed to a cloudless sky and 11 degrees...

When you hang around airports long enough you are bound to see the occasional missed approach / go around.. well today in a mater of an hour Sydney had two missed approaches.
