Planes

Also, geeks, I flew from Perth to Sydney on VH-QPI

For [livejournal.com profile] frenchiephish's interest, I flew from Sydney to San Fran on VH-OJF

While taxing, I noted a private 767 with the rego N2767, which sounded familiar. For good reason, it belongs to Google :P

Haha.. the plane for Toronto has just pulled in. I'm flying on C-FWTF.

Awesome, bit unfortunate you missed out on a 743 from Perth to Sydney but there is only one flying that route at night/in the mornings and potentially was still on it's way here while you were on your way there. Still as far as Airbus goes, the A330 is a nice plane :)

Mmmm Google 767 :) it scares me a little to think of how much range that thing must have, it's got a much lower zero fuel weight and I assume that a bunch of it's cargo space is occupied by additional fuel tanks. A fully loaded 767ER is only about 1000nm off a 747's range as it is... kinda scary.

Anyway, hope you're having fun!
