Wow, just tracking it on Flightradar24: That flyover Mt Ainslie looks like it would have been amazing! Home you got some good shots @Mattg

Yep, it was pretty incredible! Flew over parliament house, then right over the top of us!

There’s always that guy blocking your view! At least he did not drool on my shoulder.

It was an amazing flight with stunning views!

A lovely crowd, all socially distanced, the full length of the Brindabella Park car park, plus off the side of the road at the runway threshold to wave us off. Very emotional.

I watched from the side of Lake Burley Griffin and was happy it is such a beautiful clear sunny day. Stunning and emotional. Damn I wish I had been able to get a ticket!

No window seat for us but Paddington got his logbook signed. Captain Mike (CX) and Victor (the small brown bear) came along for the ride.

I watched as QF747 trundled down the taxi way to take off from Canberra - I tried to get on, but to no avail.

But thanks to MattG for his kind support - and taking the photo

What an incredible first and last flight on a 747 400. Thankyou.

I forgot this flight was happening but we were driving when it was doing its flyover and watched in the sky, then saw it come in low over Lake BG. So cool! Would have been a great view from the inside - the photos look great.
