Merged: A380 Movements Around Oz
I live at camden and have seen the QF380 fly past a few times yesterday and today. Can anyone tell me what callsign they are using??
Am curious what their sorties have been as they've been turning it round fairly quickly, ground and flight crew training i guess.

I'm pretty sure I saw & heard the big 'Dugong' departing MlLaround 4pm today (frid) Not that quiet actually sounded like distant thunder & it would have been around 12-15000 ft or so over my place.(NW ML)

heard the same thing mr hat.Dont know but presumably training, as I've heard nothing re snags.
they're doing a lot of training and promo work to various ports carrying staff who won a spot for joy flts etc.

I do not know what happened the original thread i started about the "Dugong"
I thought it was rather appropriate name since i am sure i read on the fuselage "The Spirit of Monkey Mia"
I guess our mod works for Qantas or just lost his sense of humor
( I probably get banned for this
)

Conspiracy reigns supreme. SMS, your thread was merged into another (which happens form time to time) and unfortunately the resultant thread has frozen (cannot be opened, even by mods). In the interim it is in the Toolshed while we work on fixing it. 
So the sky really isn't falling, and no, I don't work for QF
I've got a reason for being indoors today.
You should all be outside playing. The weather's beautiful!

Pity really! I thought the "Dugong" was clever and very funny. The pic of the sea cow certainly indicated where the frogs got the idea for the design. Both have a face that only a mother could love. Wouldn't surprise me if it is renamed the A380 Dugong. One is an endangered species - the other may well be also!

bd - I'm suprised you could figure how ugly it was for all of the 0.23 microseconds Ch $even showed of the bloody thing before cutting to an interview they could have easily played later on ...
Absolute pricks .. give the footy back to Ch.10
At least the new A380 Qantas ad was shown during the game tho ..
