No more Cessnas for me today....

After yesterday's amazing weather, it turned a little rougher today, with cloud and rain from midday. It did make for some interesting pictures those with a lot of water being blown about during takeoffs and landings.

First up was the regular Singapore Airlines departure to Melbourne which blew a lot of water around as it departed.

Here's hoping for better weather next Saturday, for another night flight :-)

More testing of my new camera

Last Sunday I took a few more photos with the "new" [to me] Canon EOS 700. I think I have the hang on it now, so here are a few photos.

Singapore Airlines arriving last Sunday

My final photo to share form last weekend is the regularly scheduled Singapore Airlines B777 arrival on Sunday afternoon.

The aircraft used this time was Singapore Airline's Boeing 777-212/ER, 9V-SQN.

The B777-200 appears to have good brakes [and I guess it was lightly loaded] as it appeared to have decelerated quickly before about half way, then stowed the thrust reversers and calmly taxied down the far end of the runway to vacate [this is mandatory for an aircraft of this size].
