Business/VIP Jet orbiting North Sydney?
Hey guys,
Just something I find quite interesting, as I am typing I could see this Mid-size jet orbiting the Northern part of Sydney from my office window, what's the deal??
It's pure white in colour and looks like a Gulf to me. Just thought it's an interesting scene to share
Happy flying all!!

Webtrak is your friend ....
Airservices Australia - Aircraft Noise - WebTrak Locations
For info the "current flights" are about 40 minutes old, some aircraft are automatically suppressed e.g. police, and Airservices can suppress aircraft from the history file as well.

- click on Sydney
- after the page loads, down the bottom left, untick "Show current flights"
- change the date and time as desired, then click on "set"
- when the new page loads, left click on the aircraft of interest
- a window should popup (you can drag it around the screen to de-clutter), and in it click on the centre (aircraft) icon
- the ground track of the aircraft should be displayed
- down the bottom left of screen, click on the "address lookup" tab
- enter your address
- a house icon should appear at that location
- then in the aircraft's popup window, click on the house icon
- and another window should display the distance of the aircraft from the location ...

Victor India. I believe Wanderin_dave was suggesting hopeless Julia and bend over Bob are 'going around in circles' in performing their parliamentary duties.
Nunc est bibendum
They departed in front of us this morning and 'stayed low' and headed out over water roughly on the 075 radial from Sydney. I heard departures talking to them about 'starting their run' but had no idea what it was about.
