Planespotting at SYD
Sydney Kingsford-Smith Airport has some of the most accessible planespotting in the world, so naturally I had to check it out while in town.
Our first location was just by the IKEA Tempe car park. This spot has good views of the planes taking off, though unfortunately at the time we were there it was mostly just domestic A320s, B737s and Dash 8s.
Next up, we moved onto the Old Control Tower, located at the other end of the runway, and letting us get a good look at landings. Also, by this time, the arrivals were a bit more exciting – with an Atlas Air B747F, Beijing Capital Airlines A330 and Qantas A380 which just arrived from Dallas.
Next time, I'd love to check out Millstream Lookout on the other side of the runway by the Port of Botany.
And probably time it better to see some of the more unique arrivals at SYD.
