Last Thursday, I finally bought the camera body I’ve been dreaming about for ages—the Canon R6 Mark II. It comes with an R mount, but since my current camera and lenses use EOS mounts, I also had to pick up an EOS-to-R mount converter which took a few days to come in.
On Sunday we heard that three exciting aircraft were arriving in Brisbane, so my family and I headed to the airport to see these aircraft and to try out my new camera.
The three arrivals were;
- Virgin Australia Regional (VAR) Embraer E190 E2
- Nexus Dash 8 400
- United States Freedom Plane Boeing 737
The VAR E2 left Miami on the 27th of March and made its way to Perth (PER), Western Australia, where it will be based. Its journey took it from Miami (OPF) to Tucson (TUS), then to Kailua-Kona (KOA), Nadi (NAN), and on to Brisbane (BNE) arriving at 3.30pm Sunday afternoon the 31st of May. It departed Brisbane for Perth yesterday at 12:22 p.m.
Next was the Nexus Dash 8 Q400, this aircraft flew from Perth (PER) to Brisbane (BNE) via Ayres Rock (AYQ). Nexus is an established airline in Western Australia, but after winning a mining contract here in Brisbane, they flew one of the aircraft over here for when the contact kicks off today. (I apologies for the distant photo, I thought it would have come down past me, but it turned left and headed of in another direction)
The third, and last exciting arrival was the Freedom Plane, a USA Boeing 737-7BC. This aircraft was blocked so I'm not sure where it came from.
