Glad you enjoy, ;) Thanks everyone, means alot!

A few more from the chopper:

Haha thanks! I'm sure there were a few people looking at us flying around!

Thanks! It was a simple as hiring a helicopter based at the airport and working with ATC. :D

Hi all, Had a chance to head up in a chopper on a recent trip to Sydney. Enjoy!

Thanks for the help again guys! Tempting with those options, now I just need to decide when I want to do it!! Thanks again. :)

Curious newbie here, If I was to try to get the 250 Status Credits to upgrade to Silver, is it possible to do it in say 1 or two days? And what would be the best way to earn the SC's - I'd assume a MEL-PER flight would be pretty worthwhile to bring those credits up?

Forgot about that one Meggsy, might have to look into that!

Sweet shots, really should've jumped on the chance when they were flying the Domestic routes.. Might have to pick up a flight on the 787-9 when it comes to Melbourne for the LAX route.. ;)

Yeah it arrived a week after I posted asking the normal time. Thanks for the welcome!

Thanks again everyone! Trip reports for sure Prozac, even if it is just domestic sectors.. ;) Thanks alot Buzzard, aviation photography is my passion so I will for sure be posting more!

Thanks guys! Attached are some more from Melbourne as well as some from a trip to Sydney last year.

Alright here goes some of my shots from here in Melbourne, enjoy! This was the first 777 to be repainted in the new Air NZ livery and I caught it on it's first flight to Perth overflying my place in Melbourne.

Exactly, I'd hate to see how slow everything would become of every aircraft had to be towed to the gate via a tug everytime they landed.

I wouldn't be surprised if that did happen, having a great J class on both coast to coast and international flights would present VA with a nice stronghold on the sectors they have.

I think it'd be more the fact they want to 'refresh' their product, especially with the other offerings from the likes of Qatar, CX where their business class products are such a high standard and that they want to compete in that segment of the market. If that makes sense..

Didn't even know that, works even better for VA in the case if they can outfit the 777 and 330!

*Noob post here so please don't take what I say with too much authenticity* I would say a reverse herringbone config would be the best move to VA, similar to CX's. Not that I've ever flown their current config but I really don't think the 2-3-2 would be very nice, especially being in the middle...

Thanks everyone for the welcomes! Cheers for the link to that thread, will have to get up some more posts and then I'll be able to post some pics in there. :mrgreen:

Sorry for the noobish post but I've Been lurking for a while and starting to get a hang of all the lingo now.. Looking forward to being a frequent flyer in the coming years as I'm getting old enough to start jet setting around (Hope you don't mind a 17 year old being here) and hopefully...
