A great night at Rockhampton Airport on Thursday 22 November with the arrival and departure of a lovely pair of Boeing B777-200 aircraft. Don W and 'IAD' were among the dedicated plane enthusiasts who were on hand to witness the big Boeing aircraft's arrivals and departures.
Both aircraft arrived empty, and after loading full loads of passengers and cargo, both departed direct to Singapore. These flights are to support the Singapore Defence Force Military Exercise Wallaby 2012.
The first arrival was Air New Zealand B777-200 ZK-OKB, which touched down from Hong Kong as ANZ6064. This was the first time an Air New Zealand B777-200 aircraft has visited Rockhampton.
ZK-OKB later departed to Singapore as ANZ1963.
Shortly after, Singapore Airlines B777-200 9V-SRJ touched down at Rockhampton from Singapore as SIA8931.
9V-SRJ certainly looked resplendent in the Singapore Airlines livery, particularly after Rockhampton Airport plane spotters were lucky enough to have sister-ship and 'Star Alliance' logo-jet 9V-SRI earlier in the week.
9V-SRJ departed for Singapore in the early hours of Friday 23 November.
Current information suggests that there may be another Singapore Airlines B777-200 arriving into Rockhampton Airport later on Friday 23 November - stay tuned to the CQ Plane Spotting Blog on Facebook and Twitter for the latest updates!
Thanks for the great photos guys!!
