Qantas Project Sunrise goes ahead, 12 new A350-1000s ordered

Does Runway 27 not have an area under the approach path to watch? I recall about 20 years ago in my teenage years, you could drive off the side of the road and there was big areas off the side to watch.

Everyone seemed to be lined up for a Runway 34 arrival. Sure would suck to be down near the threshold.

Thats probably because most wide bodies this morning was landing on RWY34. SQ231 (a380 directly in front) landed that way. AIB35LR was also tracking for 34 and then suddenly it swung out at the and and came back in on 27.

Is this flight even proving much,

It would be a waste if it was just repositioning flight. It is obvious though that they have a lot of instruments on the aircraft measuring all sorts of things. Fuel burn would be one.

No spare real estate on 27, freeways and big valleys
