Well - after all the hype, it's finally here. At about 0905 this morning (Bne time) the big lady touched down for the first time in Australia. This is a terrible shot from the Port of Brisbane, approx 1km away from the airport. The 70-300G was really struggling. I know there will be many more photos on this subject and every single one of them will be better than this.

However - though she probably won't be able to take and therefore post any photos, my fellow forum member, work colleague and mate, Kinetic, has got the best seat in the house: She was part of the the group from AQIS that boarded the aircraft this morning to attend to Quarantine requirements and will, no doubt, have some stories to tell. The closest I got was being with the team yesterday finalising the arrangements at the Qantas Hangar for this morning's arrival. That building itself is bloody impressive!!

Anyway, here's the first of probably many shots in this thread:

I didn't end up going ... I only have 200mm of reach (waiting on a TC) so figured the viewing points would be too far away to be of any use for me.

that is one big mother of a plane........

I was kind of glad I wasn't at work..... and am seriously NOT looking foward to when this plane uses us on a regular route... with billions of passengers

Hey guys - what an awesome morning. I just got home and have downloaded 154 shots to my computer - now I have to sort them out. I'll post some later today!
Cheers
