RAAF A330 MRTT & Challenger 604

Late in August the Australian Air Force conducted what could be called training flights across the ditch from Australia in their A330 MRTT, A39-001.

First flying an approach at Ohakea Air Force base then heading north to Auckland for a landing and seat swap for the training crew.

Some shots of A39-001 taken over several days in Auckland or their arrival's and departures.

Santa Monica Airport - N750LG

Santa Monica Airport sure is a great place to get some good shots, as you are fairly close to the action and have an excellent view of the runway.

Some photos of this Canadair Challenger 601, N750LG, floating into land, with full braking and reverse thrust applied on touchdown.
