  • Adelaide Airport

    I know its not quite the same as many of the trips that many of you take but I thought I'd share some shots of Adelaide Airport taken during a couple of hours on 24 January 2008. The main reason for my visit was to keep my daughter amused for a couple of hours during the school holidays, but I did enjoy catching a glimpse of a familiar sight.

      CX104/5 awaiting clearance to turn on to the runway.


      Virgin Bue flight DJ406 arriving from Sydney. This aircraft is fitted with the new "Live 2 Air" facility as can been seen from the hump near the tail which allows passengers to watch subscriber television in flight.

        After spending a couple of hours at the Airport we headed down to Glenelg which is an Adelaide beachside suburb. From here we caught one of Adelaide's trams back to the CBD.
